I was recently wondering; did the Apple Newton make itself from an obsolete/retired product into the retro/hobby space? Or is it in the wasteland of products that had their time in the limelight, and are gone now?
@tantramar @harold If I had built this database, it wouldn’t be nearly as big of a challenge. This is a mostly German language database of #AppleNewton resources created by Apple GmbH in 1995. Password protected, of course.
Thirty years ago today, Apple shipped Newton Press for Mac OS … “making it easy to take important documents from their Mac OS-based personal computer with them on their Newton PDA.”
Just arrived from Japan!
I hope the floppy still works.
