soups on.

Thanks to all who contributed to www.dmoz.org! Since I started helping out the Newton section, it's doubled in size to 51 links. It is by no means an exhaustive listing of the Apple Newton's presence on the web, but a growing one. If you are looking for Newton sites, stop by. If you have a few sites to contribute, stop by. If you'd like to volunteer to help with the editing, stop by. What I'm really asking is for your support in this noble effort.

And for the "I hope this turns out to be true" links of the day, more links to rumors of the new Apple PDA type device are located here, here, and here (okay, so the last one isn't specifically geared toward an Apple PDA, but as soon as news develops expect to see it at New Mobile Computing first).

Today, I present an updated version of Rush Hour which is now complete with support for soups. So, no longer do you have to start over at the beginning after reseting your Newton. I've also added 8 more levels (bringing the total number of levels to 20). I have just one more update planned which consists of adding another 10 levels, some speed updates and the ability for people to create their own levels directly on the Newton. I'm going to take some time off from Rush Hour and go back to work on an RPG that I started on the Newton a while back. I'll also continue working on those levels for Planks. I've actually been playing a game developed by a company called Astraware for the Palm OS called Seven Seas! and I enjoy the idea so much that someday I would like to see it on the Newton.

For now, enjoy Rush Hour! If you have any questions or find any bugs, please leave a comment below.
