[NTLK] Looking for volunteers to go through a pile of Newton software

[Vladislav Korotnev]

Hello everyone! It’s been a while.

About 10-13 years or so ago, I have received a bulk of Newton data from the Apple Museum in Moscow.

Among other things they seem to have been donated a lot of CDs (and CD-Rs) for the Newton. This includes, but is not limited to, things such as the Russian language patches for NewtonOS which I haven’t yet seen on UNNA and the like.

Sadly, life has been explosively piling up throughout these past 10 years, so I just put it all on my SFTP stash and never got around to sorting through it and uploading to UNNA or the like.

I’m currently in the process of clearing out as many drives as I can in my life to make things more compact for stuff that I actually create rather than archival — and stumbled upon this folder.

So, I am looking for volunteers who would be willing to go through the files. I have put the whole archive on Mega, but the space up there is pretty cramped too, so when someone (preferably multiple people) download it — please let me know so that I can safely clean this up. 

The folder is here: https://mega.nz/folder/4QJxhR5Y#9rYITzur39ikVt1WyBTEbQ — 28900 files across 4831 folders

Please let me know if you happen to find anything useful or rare too, and shout out to Andrey from the Museum for providing this and deep apologies for failing to act upon it in a timely manner.

Best regards
