Where's the #AppleNewton #MessagePad?! I know everyone calls it a failure, but where would the Palm, iPhone, or iPad have existed without it?

As of now, you may also access the UNNA.org sites via #HTTPS in addition to standard #HTTP!

Go ahead, try it out:

https://www.unna.org/

Newfangled, huh!

Don't worry, we're not taking away the venerable HTTP connectivity, nor will we be automatically redirecting any connections to HTTPS. After all, we need to be able to connect from our #AppleNewton #MessagePad and #eMate!

Good news, everyone! The UNNA.org sites are accessible again after yesterday's scheduled-network-infrastructure-updates-gone-pear-shaped! We sincerely apologize for being down for a little over 24 hours.

Unfortunately, UNNA.org sites are still down due to some unexpected hurdles in the infrastructure upgrades. Will likely be down into tomorrow. Our apologies for the downtime! https://bitbang.social/@unna/115838344117961274

Heads up: @[email protected] is doing some infrastructure maintenance today, so the UNNA.org server will likely be intermittently inaccessible. Our apologies in advance for any inconvenience!
