I know, I know, it's old, but I've had a Newton 2100 for a long while. It's been sitting in the closet for the last year, and missed my transition to a 20" iMac CD. Does anyone know if I can use my old bulky Newton with my new iMac? I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks!

Have not tried mine with my Intel iMac yet. But on my previous PPC iMac, I was able to sync it with Address Book and iCal, the only bummer was it was only a one way sync, from the Mac to the Newt.

I have a wifi card for the Newt and that works great, but I have not paid the shareware price for the web browser.

Here are some good sites for more info:

Let us know if you dig up anything cool.

I have the keyboard and the case for mine. Mine was a 2000 upgraded to a 2100. It really is a nice device, the only bummer today being the screen contrast and brightness compared to modern devices.
