The APPLE NEWTON :P
Heya,
Well, ive been lookin around for about
2-3 wks now, tryin to find an Apple Newton
avail in a shop,i mustve emailed about 20 mac
shops around Aust, in Eastern States, and NT and
everywhere, bo one has one, about 5ppl never even
heard of it, and their mac zealots, but anywho, today
i got a msg back from someone, he says he has a Model 130,
the one i was mainly interested in, he also says he in in Midland
about a 5-10min train ride from here, he asked me what i would
want it for, i made a story up, saying it was for me bro
who is a mac zealot and a Student at UWA, i said we can negotiate
a price later, he says its near mint, and it was someones who was
in the medical industry, it comes with an extra stylus, a 4mb flash
card, and something else, i asked me mam and she says i can prob get
it if it's under $100AU, anyone think its a good deal?
im not really interested in Palm's or P PC's, though tonight,
im going to a friends party who has Seribal Palsy, he hopefully
has his palm there so i can check out a couple of features.

Its a PDA with touchscreen, which was intoduced around 1993 (i think, not sure). They where very advanced and expensive, and they are now hard to find.
100 AU$ sounds alright, since that's less then 100 US$, which is about what I paid for my (now semidefunct) SEs.
