I got my newton 2100 today! woohoo! scorebuttons!I forgot how sexy these things were, let alone how functional. I must say the Newt OS is the best "custom" designed OS ever. Not some scaled back desktop OS (although a PDA OS X would prolly be the best thing in the world  ). I got it barebones, because I had a lot of leftovers. I am currently in search of both a dongle, and an enet card, but I posted for the first one of those in the trading post.
(BTW, ~Marchie, I still haven't gotten any sort of payment or anything from my newton parts selling stuff back in march mor april LAST YEAR. Please, please do something.)
This thing brings back memories of my original 2000 that had a horrible death brought upon it a while back, a smashing of everything  . Hopefully this one will serve me long (and prosper!). I am off to play! Altough, I need some more AA batteries, or need to find my rechargable set though... ~The Penguin **| Want free 68kmla email? Drop me a line |**

Yeah, I got the thing on ebay for less than $50 including shipping! Like I said, no donlge or anything so I am kind of stuck for now, and I am also out of cash, what a dilemma! Maybe I could trade a toe for a dongle... ~The Penguin **| Want free 68kmla email? Drop me a line |**

as much as I would love to have a collector edition PentuinToe... I'm sure that I don't have the mystical "dongle" which you want...you could see what the eBay crowd thinks though  Official 68k videographer |
