Still have my Newton. tbh it ended up being a lot less useful then what I imagined it to be. Still a cool toy.

Heh... I had a 130 (maybe a 120 - I missed-the-boat on getting a 2000)... and a PCMCIA modem card connected to a Motorola flip - I was reading usenet/sending emails online at coffee shops sooooo far ahead of WiFi...

... except in that combination, you could see your battery level dropping in real-time...

... fun times...
