Newton List of Items I am considering for sale. (See the bottom of the note
for why.) I am posting this note to see what the level of interest is in the
entire package and what the most is that I could get for it. I will not sell
it unless I can get a decent price for everything. I don't want to part
things out, and I don't want to sell this on Ebay, unless you all really
think it would do better. I have a couple of other questions I am posting as
I try to make a final decision of what to do. THe following list is just
about everything. I have listed the average price of the individual items
which adds up to over $1,000. Please let me know what you all think.
- $350 Newton 2100 (upgraded 2000)
- $100 Implant accel
- $100 16mb
- $50 8mb
- $35 6mb
- $35 3Com Ehternet card
- $35 XJack 28.8 modem (no dongle requried)
- $50 Keyboard
- $30 2 Interconnect Dongles
- $30 2 Power supplys (1 7, 1 9w)
- $25 Rechargeable battery, still in decent condition.
- $25 StyleWriter I printer, perfect for the Newton
- $10 3 Stands (2 horizontal, 1 Vertical. Homemade but stylus. Black)
- $10 Cables for both pc and mac (3 PC, 2 are home made, and 1 Mac)
- $?? Lots of software: Full compliment of Stand Alone Programs like
SuperNames, DateMan, SuperNotes, SoundSleep, etc. 3 Bible translations,
Pocket Quicken, Action Names, Quick Figure Pro, tons of freeware, all the
recent updates. I could list out everything, but suffice it to say, this
Newton has just about everyting you can imagine, and still lots of room for
more (the 16mb card is only about half full). All shareware installed is
registered. Unfortunately, if the owner name changes, many of the paid for
sharewares will terminate. You may be able to contact Ben at Stand Alone and
get new codes, or just keep the owner name the same...it really will not
affect anything.
Other items:
>brand new door that hasn't even been put on yet
>screen protectors (although home made, very effective
>PCMCIA Empty Slot cards (2 I think)
>Some Manuals
>2100 Upgrade CD
>CDRW and Zip full of software.
Status of Newton:
Excellent. Minimal wear on the case itself. I have kept really good care of
this unit. The screen has only one slight scratch and a small nick. As soon
as it happened, I have covered the screen ever since. With the screen
protector on, neither are noticeable nor have any impact. Operation is
really stable. I have long since worked out any bugs. The unit, as it is
with it's installed software, hardly ever crashes. I will wipe the Newt
clean if the buyer wants, but installing software is a tedious process as
you pretty much need to install one package at a time and see if it is going
to work. I am speak of course if you want to explore the multitude of
software on the disks that I have. Some of which I have tried and it it
didn't work with something I already had installed or, didn't work at all. I
generally tried to keep only Stand Alone as the manin apps. There are many,
many cool freeware system enhancements that make this Netwon a powerful and
efficient tool.
Why am I considering selling?
I realize we just talked about this a few weeks ago. But due to company
software that is only on the Palm, a close associate of mine getting a Palm,
and the reality is, I need some money. The justification is that I feel like
I can sell my Newton collection for a decent price, and spend $100 or so on
a minimal Palm. I guess the real issue is also that I have a Sony
505f...still to this day, one of the smallest, lightest laptops that has
ever been on the market!!! And it pretty much goes anywhere I need it to go.
And finally, I REALLY, REALLY need better syncing capablilities with my
office manager, etc. I don't want to sell, and if I didn't need the money I
wouldn't. However, even if money wasn't an issue, I don't see it being very
practical managing two names list, two schedules, etc. And if that isn't
realistic, then what would the roll of the Newton become?
Anyway, I have two questions I am going to post to the widsom of the group.
Based on those answers, and the response I get from this, I may decide to
sell.
Thanks for everything!!!
Drew
