Earlier this year I brought my #Apple #eMate to a #RepairCafe to disassemble, inspect, and [hopefully preemptively] address the common hinge issue. All looked good, so I brought it to a second session to disassemble, lubricate, and reinforce the hinges.
Due to schedule conflicts, I haven't attended the last few, so it's still in pieces. I need to source cells to rebuild the battery, plus order the memory expansion and another USB serial adapter.
Today's #NewtonTalk #GNUM was motivating!
After nearly a year and a half hiatus, there’s another Global Newton Users Meetup (GNUM) just around the corner.

An absolutely massive, "Thank you," and a huge pat on the back to @splorp for managing to import a shit tonne of historical emails into the NewtonTalk.net, filling "the void"!

The Newton Documentary.
I get to pick the screenshots, and I’m proud of my best friend Grant, his “dad” role, and the web server he’s run on a Newton forever…

Love Notes to Newton is a film about what a beloved (but short-lived) pen-based Personal Digital Assistant created by Apple Computer has meant for the people...
@ramokromok Thanks for adding #NewtonTalk to your list. One minor thing … there’s no space between Newton and Talk.
There’s also a list of Newton-related forums in the Newton FAQ.

Thank for putting this together!
Thanks for the reminder from #NewtonTalk:
"Twenty seven years ago today, Newton OS 2.0 received the “Mobility Award for System Software” at the Mobile Insights ’96 conference … beating out other contenders including Microsoft Windows 95, General Magic’s Magic Cap, and Geoworks’ Geos."
