Don't have that, but I've got 2 ads from Newton-Inc., that I found on
the Developer CD #14, one of them was put on the web and somebody did
mention the URL this week.
Well, if you look carefully, the ad is for an MP2000. However, instead
of the usual Newton logo in the center (like all 2000), this one has the
"Newton Technology" silkscreened on the left. Then, I can't see
"MessagePad 2000" at the bottom, but no logo whatsoever can be seen.
Anyway, maybe it was just a prop, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
