I just got a Newton MessagePad 100. Anyone still use this dinosaur? All the info and accesories I could find, are for the newer 2000 and 2100s. Any info, links and opinions would be appreciated, thanks
At least at the Asylum, they treat me with respect.

Try this site. www.oldschool.net/newton/
I have an old Newton 120, still pretty cool I think.
Try using www.google.com to find more info.

Well, I have come to the conclusion that I had purchased the wrong Newton Model.

I did find some useful links and figure I should post them in case anyone is interested in Newtons.


I also found a place that sold the flash memory cards for earl model newtons.

8MB Flash Card for Apple Newton Message Pad 100, 110, 120, 130 and 2000.

Thanks again, Sine and Buck Naked

mik, if you are still interested, try eBay for a newer 2100 or 2000. Those rock and I think they're pretty cheap now.

and dont get a 2000, get a 2100. the 2000 dosent have nearly as much memory, and you'll be wanting to upgrade eventually... but i dont think you can anymore.
