Re: [NTLK] Too Quiet on the List

You got it. If you have a Newton, how can you not have a Pippin? :)

It was a good idea, a little too ahead of its time, a little too expensive
when released, and had a lot of promise before it was axed. Sounds like our
favorite PDA, huh?

I picked up one from a very cheap eBay auction (they seem to rise-and-fall
in price yearly from $50 to $300) and am having some fun with it (think of
it as a shrunken PowerMac 7100/66), I even got a CD that boots it into Mac
OS 7.5.2 with a Playstation-style controller (ergonomics better than others
for little kid hands IMHO).

The Pippin was Apple's attempt at a video game console.
