h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I will take it that you are about as old as I am, or just smarter. NEWT is something I have not heard of in a long time. I am going to assume that you will be at or will follow the h2k.net conference in N.Y.C next month, seeing as you know about NEWT and I'm sure a few other things that you refuse to admit to(nudge nudge wink wink). However, not to sound like a prick, check your spelling(last couple of lines) it looks better if all is spelled right.

But Bedways is best ways now good night my little droog, viddy you L8R

H2K.net? But that's where all bad girls and boys go. I was never like that, honest guv. I never touched all those passwords, just borrowed them.

If u r really a NEWT refugee, and I do not doubt it how about a bit of proof? What machine (in the loose sense) was NEWT hosted on? What name(s) did u use? and what was the name of the best on-line rumour sheet and who edited it

What I know about NEWT would fill a 1x1 pixel worth of screen space. I was never on it, or part of it. My computer teacher at school told me about it and I haven't been in school for over 10 years now. The only system I ever used was Archie, and that was for a limited time, about a month. Then I was without a box till about five years ago.

What I was trying to say is that I haven't HEARD anybody talk about it in years. I have been using Linux for about a year or so now, and there are a lot of people who think that the internet started with internet explore or aol.. and it was kindda funny cause I had just been talking to a friend about h2k and the history of the "net" when I saw your post.

P.S did you return those passwords?

Me thinks it was a different NEWT or at least the writers of the NEWT I knew stole the name/code from elsewhere (i highly likely thing), as far as I knew it was only ever limited to our campus.

Never had to give the passwords back, as I never actually changed them. If students were stupid enough to write them on their folders they were stupid enough never to change them

I'd most likely my computer teacher either read about it or used it at one point, stole it, copied it, yadda yadda. So it goes....

...tis history. My quest for refugees of the NEWT I knew continues.....next week our hero searches for refugees in the parallel universe containing only Bill Clinton clones......
