"If you lived only on the Internet, you might not know that Apple’s
Newton, the father of all personal digital assistants, was
discontinued in 1998," Dunstan Prial reports for FOXBusiness.

"About three times the size of most contemporary PDAs, the Newton was
the predecessor to the Palm Pilot. But unlike the gadgets that
followed in its wake, the Newton has a feature that continues to
fascinate and attract users – it recognizes handwriting," Prial reports.

"There are Newton blogs, Newton Web sites (organized by something
called the United Network of Newton Archives), Newton social
networking sites, an annual Worldwide Newton Conference, and seemingly
more chatrooms dedicated to the handheld devices than just about any
other gadget ever made," Prial reports.

"Newton fans--some might call them fanatics -- have kept the gadgets
memory alive by staying in touch mostly on the Internet, where they
trade innovations and software updates that allow them to keep up with
contemporary shifts in PDA technology," Prial reports.
