Yup. I'm familiar. I've actually had my MP2100 with me as a daily carry item since I repaired it Saturday. Daily alarm, calendar, and note taking on it is wonderful.

I must apologize for anybody that lost the auction because I sniped it at the last second for ~$120.... Wasn't expecting to win the auction LOL. Alas, I am the proud new owner of perhaps the cheapest working eMate sold in recent times. Included the power adapter (now I've got two! I can keep...

..... Out to pasture? 😅 Love the Newton platform. I've transferred my Google calendar over and have begun transferring my contacts. So far I've enjoyed this far more than I ever enjoyed using Google services. I set up my PowerBook with NCU, Claris Organizer, and Apple Works

A little over 3 years ago, I acquired a MessagePad 2100 (in my case, a 2000 model Apple upgraded to a 2100 noted by the MP2100 sticker near the interconnect port). A neat device, I was planning to actually use mine and track setlists for my favorite band when I went to live shows. Not long after...

The 1x0 series MessagePad has a lot better repair documentation (perhaps because the 2x00 series have only just started to fail). I'm hoping I can successfully get this back online and document the process.

Long time, no see. Howdy folks! Shortly after this post (and subsequent interconnect dongle acquisition from a fellow forum user) the Newton stopped powering on entirely, so it went into a box for the last three years (almost exactly to the day!!) Fast forward to a few days ago, I finally...

...among a haul that also included 4 Palms and an Apple iie system (which I've also been after for a while). All units desperately need cleaned, which I can do at my work (we clean and repair electronic point of sale hardware). It's an MP2000 with the MP2100 upgrade sticker, a pcmcia modem, and...

Hah funny story... While using it and installing TenFourFox, Classic mode, and Quake III the CRT suddenly shut down and wouldn't come back. I had almost given up hope for it, as it was just $15, when I thought "old computers could pretty easily be fixed by a big whack on the side". And what do...

1.25ghz. Guess it can't run OS 9

Ah nevermind... For some reason it wouldn't take my 10.2 disc. Upgraded to 1gb of ram and replaced the battery. Putting 10.4 on it :)

Only one issue... It refuses to boot from CD, even though it can read them just fine.

So much for trying to make space.... But for $15 I couldn't pass it up.

yeah... i actually noticed that too.. let me check the backend real quick; I did a domain change recently and I think it broke. Edit: phew... databases aren't working. Time to fix that, a lot of my sites just broke lol.

Feel free to check out http://nocss.techedison.net :)   I did a similar thing.

Yeah I sorta gave up when it got super behind and never got finished... I completed my project, the midway report mentioned that my blog was down even though it was not. Messaged multiple times and nothing happened. at least i finished the site... http://nocss.techedison.net/
