My dad ran across a CD that evidently came with his PowerMac 8500 so many
years ago. The booklet with it is entitled "What can you do with Newton
2.0?" and its contents say things like "Betsy plans her trip to Thailand -
Use your newton PDA and third-party applications such as True North's
Gulliver to manage your flight itinerary and make hotel reservations." etc.
etc.
Pictures show a 130 and another NOS device, evidently a Motorola Marco, but
the screen sure looks like it's backlit. Could be a Photoshop trick to make
the screen look optimal, though.
The disk contains a long multimedia presentation of the Newton's features
and connectivity and a PowerPoint-style presentation as another app. The
most interesting feature is a PDF "Solutions Guide" with gobs of aftermarket
and 3rd party software and doodads described.
Is anyone interested in seeing this disk or any of its contents? Should I
upload this to UNNA? The overall disk is a PPC-only 512 MB monster, but the
PDF (the most useful part) is only 2.8 MB.
