NewtonTalkThirty years ago today, Apple announced the #MessagePad 130, the first #NewtonOS device to offer a transflective LCD display with electroluminescent backlighting.

@paulrickards Combine this with Couch Fire on your #NewtonOS device and you’re golden.
Twenty eight years ago today, Apple discontinued development of #NewtonOS and its related hardware products.
Yet, here we are.

@AncTreat5358 The #NewtonOS platform is self contained, but can be extended via various networking, including wifi, ethernet, and Bluetooth. There’s also a multi platform emulator that’s in active development.
Just arrived from Japan!
I hope the floppy still works.
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.
