[NTLK] The Newton Museum & Beta Newtons

Hello everybody!

This is John Venzon, I'm a list member from Los Angeles, and I'm just about
to launch my new Newton site, www.newtonmuseum.com. I plan on keeping it a
free site with donations as an option that will get you premiums (your own
email address @newtonmuseum.com and Newton gear,) but all content will be
free as long as I don't bust my bandwidth.

The site will launch in January, and will feature each model in depth,
starting with the OMP, and working my way up to the 2100 as the months go
by. I own over 20+ MPs of all flavors including enginering samples, boxed
accessories and software, and Newton number 46 with the unreleased snap-on
screen cover. Since this is a labor of love, and because I don't want to
charge for the access, I've started selling my duplicate collection items on
eBay to fund the site.

<shamelessplug>

Right now I am selling two Apple in house test MP110 with several prerelease
items. The 110s are running versions system versions 1a1.00 and 1.2.00. I
purchased them from a gentleman who used to work for Apple during our
beloved Newton's heyday, and they were used at system version 'mules' for
testing.

You can see the auction at:

owTutorial=0&ed=1000087503&indexURL=0&rd=1

And keep an eye on eBay (if you like that sort of thing) for future auctions
to benefit the Newton Museum.

</shamelessplug>

So if eBay announcements annoy the heck out of you, read this as an
annoucement for the site. If you like collecting Newton items AND want to
help fund the site, go to eBay. Just know that the money won't be going to
purchase any WinCE products.

Thanks!
