A few days ago my lovely kiddo (who inherited my game collecting habits ) happened to find two of these at a yard sale and snapped them up!

These are much cooler devices than I had initially thought they would be but they are not terribly intuitive.

Does anyone know where I can find a manual for these online? I cannot seem to find one.

Tagging @SuperSelena64 and @Robavince in hopes that one of them might know.

Spotted a Newton 130 advertised as not working, and picked it up for $34. While until now I've had luck with several "not working" devices just being user error, even if it actually doesn't work, it's still worth the price in parts (like the pen! My only other Newton pen has fallen apart, and I've literally never seen another Newton pen for sale, just lots of eMate ones)

Well it just arrived, let's take a look

I really have a #pda collecting addiction ... 2024 and the start in 2020 :)

As I'm processing this PDA thing and the way it's been breaking my life for...my entire life...I realize that despite being (I hope) an ally and advocate for people with disabilities, I actually have a CRAP TON of internalized ableism.

Like: thinking I'm just a burden because I can't human properly; expecting too much from myself; thinking that I'm only worth something if I'm doing a "real" job; etc.

I don't think those things about other disabled people, so why am I punishing myself?

So, given that we suspect our #autistic 8yo is #OCD as well as #PDA, and every service/waiting list/alleged professional that could help has thus failed to meet or accommodate us: how long on average until one of us gets arrested, sectioned, or hospitalised?

I just wanna know what to expect, for once.

Can't forget about all those grayscale devices either. A range of 16 grays is nice, but you have to ensure there's always a big enough contrast between them.

Yeah, Graffiti 2 a.k.a. Jot was a result of a stupid patent suit. It was nerfed to comply with a court ruling.

I found a Wikipedia article about their non-volatile storage scheme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Volatile_File_System

These ones are always charged #pda

Decided to release my #Newton #DogCow Moof! app in honor of #Marchintosh. Check out the included Read Me for more info. Enjoy! https://tinyurl.com/DogCowNewton

C and her two boys’ #pda is severely testing my patience. Just accommodating the children uses up all of my compassion and patience… and then when she gets going I have nothing left. She was procrastinating over a really important health task yesterday morning, that needed immediate action, and which only she could do. I held it together for a while before eventually losing my shit.

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

Finally got a zire72 palm #pda. Always wanted one. Not in good shape, but I have it :)
