Nick's PowerUp is freeware. You may give it to others at no charge. More about this under Legal Stuff.

 Overview:

PowerUp is a smal little Newton appication. With it, you can automaticaly set the back light and the screen orientation at power up.
PowerUp distincts between a power up by the user and a power up by plugging in the keyboard. Furthermore you can influence different power up states depending on time and detection of the AC-adaptor. This way, for example, you can configure your Newton to set the sreen to landscape and switch on the back light when it's past 19:00, the ac is connected and you power up you Newton by the keyboard.

 System requirements:

Nick's PowerUp requires Newton OS 2.0 or higher.
Nick's PowerUp was tested on a MP 120 / MP 130 and a MP 2000 (should work fine on eMates.)

 Installation:

Install the application by using your Connection Kit or other package downloader. Read the documentation for more instructions on how to install packages.
