This was cool back when Newtons were cool. Now it is dedication beyond the call of duty!

This link (http://newton.kallisys.net:8080/) is served to you by an Apple Newton 2100. You may need to reload it once or twice to make it work.

If you don't know what a Newton is or why this is cool, then I won't try to explain, or it will make your head hurt.

Ok so I'll try ;) Imagine a palm pilot, but designed many years before - with natural handwriting recognition that is only now being equalled in some handheld devices (most, like current PalmOS devices, are getting worse...). Then imagine running a public webserver on it.

If you still don't see why that is cool, then you are truly not a geek (but then you're probably quite glad about that).

Note that:

He currently works on projects involving kernel hacking and low-level cross-debugging. When the stupid debugger doesn't crash, he often needs to stop the server to use the two PC-Card slots.

so if it doesn't work at first - try again tomorrow ;)

Reminds me of the potato powered webserver. Yes the much publicised one was a hoax - but this one http://d116.com/spud/ appeared to be the real deal. Unfortunately it is now offline after the owner had had it with rotting potatos!
