Oh, just typing a quick note out on my #appleNewton #messagePad

@kalleboo Ooh, I've been looking for the UniFEP software for many years! I still want to be able to practice my 日本語 on my #AppleNewton #MessagePad2100.

It's definitely not archived on @unna yet. While I had been watching Japanese auction sites for copies somewhat recently, it rarely appears and has generally been outside my budget.

Steve Jobs recién había retornado a Apple, y constantemente comentaba su disgusto a esta línea de productos que según su biógrafo Walter Isaacson, arremetió varias veces contra este dispositivo por su bajo rendimiento, lentitud, y porque fue una idea de John Sculley, quien había hecho despedir a Jobs de Apple

El 8 de noviembre de 1997, Steve Jobs giró un memo a altos directivos de Apple sobre el inminente cese de la línea Newton ya que un día antes sacaron al mercado su último modelo, la Newton MessagePad 2100.

A few months ago, I finally weened myself off of falling asleep to movies/episodes playing on my iPad. Last month I started reading in bed on my #AppleNewton #MessagePad2100. I don't currently have very many books on it, so looked to see if there was an archive of thew Newton's Library site on #UNNA's https://mirrors.unna.org/. SNope, but there are a lot of books in the https://www.unna.org/ archive. I next checked to see if @internetarchive's #WayBack machine did. Yes!
This morning was spent in the back yard, browsing the web on my #AppleNewton #MessagePad2100 using a #3Com EtherLink III 3C589C PCMCIA card connected via Cat 6 RJ-45 ethernet cable to my #Netgear #Nighthawk #M1 mobile router. Fast, stable, and no need to run a weak-encrypted WiFi network or run a _loooooooong_ ethernet cable!
I'm not sure exactly what's up, but my #AppleNewton #MessagePad2100 is popping up repeated calendar alerts that today is the #anniversary of the Newton's #cancellation. Personally, I agree that it's _that_ important to remind people, but it doesn't need to remind _me_ of that fact!

Hey, I've got a question to people familiar with the #AppleNewton. #ask

I've got a #MessagePad2100, but it has an annoying application called "OrgaCard" installed (likely something for restaurants to manage orders). It always launches when I boot my Newton, and I would like to remove it, but I just don't know how!
