MessageBuddyª 1.5 by Michael Krzyzek, Copyright ©1997 Tactile Systems, Inc.Description-----------Have you ever needed to take a phone message and couldn't find a pen and/or paper? No longer. MessageBuddyª gives you an infinite supply of "While You Where Out" forms for your Newton. Is the caller not in your names file? With the tap of a button add the person for future calls. Another tap and you have a new To Do item. It slices, it dices, it even makes julienne fries! Printing, faxing, beaming! It's all here!How much would you expect to pay for this fine piece of software? $10.00? $15.00? Even $50.00? No! MessageBuddyª is freeware. We're releasing it as a freeware application to the Newton Community because it was fun to write, and more good things in life should be free.It is highly recommend that you install MessageBuddyª on your Internal Store(not on a card).By the way, it won't work with 1.x systems; upgrade to 2.0, it's well worth it.For any of our friends out there who don't use English as a native language, send me eMail (michael@tactile.com) and I will send out a file you can customize to your language of choice. When you send it back to me I will recompile it for you.Currently there are Norwegian and German versions.If you really really like it and want to burden us with money, feel free to do so (sushi isn't real cheap in Colorado you know). The address is listed below.Thanks------A hearty thanks to Apple Computer Inc. for sticking with the Newton and giving us this great Newton 2.0 OS (Stationary is way cool) and for helping fix the grab bar height bug.
