My other computer is an #AppleNewton #MessagePad
Twenty nine years ago today, Apple shipped the #MessagePad 2000, billed as “ … a mobile computer for the business professional and one of the fastest handheld Internet computers on the market.”
Thirty years ago today, Apple announced the #MessagePad 130, the first #NewtonOS device to offer a transflective LCD display with electroluminescent backlighting.
Just arrived from Japan!
I hope the floppy still works.
Thirty one years ago today, Apple announced the availability of the Newton #MessagePad 120, with “enhanced features.”
Update: I found it!
Attention #AppleNewton users … does anyone happen to have a copy of Enfour’s Japanese Newton Language Kit (NLK)?
It was made available to #MessagePad owners running the Japanese version of #NewtonOS.
Not sure if was a download of on CD. Even an exported copy of the packages would suffice.
Boosts welcome.

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