[NTLK] Clear developer's Newton 110 pops up on eBay | MacNN

[Ed Carter]

It appears that the resolution has increased as well as material choices (
http://i.materialise.com/materials) and size (up to 2+ meters) w/ very
reasonable cost via "service bureau" type of online businesses.  The time
may be right to look into scanning a 2100 and constructing a workable model
file to upload (on either side of the pond)...  Stainless Steel or Titanium
would also be very cool and pricey, but hey, it's for a Newton!  Ed
