After being on Newtontalk for a couple months I know you will like my
Newton story - I have to tell it to someone who will appreciate it.
Last summer I went to a flea market run by a charitable organization
selling donated items. I saw this original box for a Messagepad, which
did not mean much to me, but there was something about Newton on it that
rang a bell. It said it was untested, so without really knowing what
was in the box I bought it.
When I got it home I found I had an upgraded MP2000 that worked when I
plugged in the charger. Its battery did not hold a charge, but there
were two new in the box batteries. There was a keyboard, 4MB flash
storage card, two styli and a battery holder. One carrying case was
just for the Newton alone and the other could also hold the keyboard.
After some web searching and finding UNNA I had it connected to my iMac
and with the help of list members I have added a modem and can do email
on it. Oh, did I mention what I paid for it: $3.
