Just set up a fax line for my business. In 2025.

At least it's a virtual fax machine. Though, truthfully, I do hope to use it to transfer some documents from my #AppleNewton #MessagePad.

Thirty years ago today, Apple announced a rebate program on the #MessagePad 120, making the device more affordable to a wider audience.

Been working on figuring out the NTK and built a #DogCow MooF! app. I used the Clarus graphic from the recent macOS Print Setup window (Press Command + Shift + P to see that window) 🐶 🐮

Might anyone have the full version of "Columbo's Mystery Capers" in either a PCMCIA dumped format (.ppcard) or .pkg? I can only find the demo on unna. Thanks! 🙂👍 #newton #apple #messagepad #pda #vintagecomputing #AppleNewton #newtonmessagepad #RetroComputing #Marchintosh

Twenty eight years ago today, Apple shipped the #MessagePad 2000, billed as “ … a mobile computer for the business professional and one of the fastest handheld Internet computers on the market.”

That’s two (count ’em, two!) #MessagePad 2100s spotted at the @SDF Interim Computer Festival in Seattle today.

Waiting for my plane at #YYC … starting off this weekend’s adventure to @SDF’s Interim Computer Festival in Seatttle.

And yes, there is a Newton #MessagePad in my carry on.

I dug up my old #Apple #Newton #MessagePad 130, put in a fresh set of 4 AA batteries, and fired it up for the first time in ages. After setting the date and time, I went back to the start and asked it to show me today’s agenda. I guess its calendar can only handle a limited date range, because it sent me back to March 7, 1991. #VintageComputing

@mcc @mhoye The #Apple #Newton #Messagepad 2100 was just an excellent device. I still miss certain features it had. For example, you could drag text/images with the stylus and drop it at any edge/margin of the application. You could drop as many snippets as you like. Even if you switch to another page, the snippets were still there and you could drop it.

Here is even an enhancement request for #LibreOffice that is inspired by it:

Twenty nine years ago today, Apple announced the #MessagePad 130, the first Newton device to offer a transflective LCD display with EL backlighting.
