Part 2 of 3
Tone Pad 1.1 is a simple tone generator,
reminiscent of old Radio Shack 1 octave electronic keyboards. If you're a musician, you
may find Tone Pad a great way to work out that melody while commuting on a train.
There are many uses for tone generators, and we suspect this small app will have a wider
audience than just music lovers. The Tone Pad 1.0 display is a floating window, featuring
a Frequency Display Box which displays the current frequency that is to be
generated by clicking on the right 'Play Tone' button. Manual selection of a frequency is
accomplished by simply writing the desired frequency in the display box. Currently, the
tone generator will drop the decimal portion of the frequency entered, but the author may
include decimal support in future versions. TonePad v1.1 now supports duration
selection, and a 3 octave range for the piano keys! If you're downloading the .pkg
(MAC), we recommend also getting the readme file.

Morse Pad is a simple "Text to Morse
Code" program. It allows for manually input text to be sent in Morse Code at various
speeds and frequencies. If you're downloading the Mac (pkg) version, we recommend you also
download the ReadMe file. Freeware. The
latest version now includes Morse to Text! Credit: Len Kawamoto.
Newton users simply enter their birth date.
NewtORhythm comes up with a charted biorhythm. While this entertaining freeware package
has little practical value, we imagine it may be used to help defend Newton users against
criticism if they're simply having a bad day. Credit: Bernie Bernstone.
GPS Map Lite 2.0 is a freeware GPS satellite based moving map navigation
system with a lot of helpful functions such as a simple route, and a database. The system
supports both scanned and vector type maps with any scale. This is a final version, which
includes the developer's built in -10061 is fully functional. Credit: Gerd

The Newton Portfolio Manager 1.3 helps Newton
users monitor multiple stock investments, mutual fund performance and keep an eye on
options and bonds. This program is compatible with Macintalk! Credit: NewtBrick.
If you use your Newton to keep track of movies
you've been wanting to rent, try Tom Sheppard's Newton Book of the world famous Internet
Movie Database. Mr. Sheppard's Newton book is a searchable collection of movies mostly
from the US and Canada released between 1997 and 1998. The latest version includes
improved search handling. This version also includes listing by genre, and a
section listing any of the included movies also on the AFI's Top 100 and the IMDb's Top
250. Users interested in downloading the Newton Book of IMDb may also want to
grab Avi Drissman's '61 Memory Fix
as the author reports his book may generate -10061 errors. IMPORTANT: When
downloading this 3.5 MB file, make sure you have enough space on a card to do so -- if
insufficient space is available, the card will be erased. For screenshots
