Well, if anyone else has such a deal I'd be interested. I am currently
researching handheld GUI / ROMs, as some of you know, in an attempt to
develop a more intuitive OS that hopefully will bear the heart of the
Newton. As my only Newton resource is my eMate I am considering a 2100
so I can truly get a more rounded perspective. I use my Visor rarely
and my Zaurus often. Actually I would say use is equally spread between
my eMate and my Zaurus. The end result will hopefully function on a
Linux based device (Sharp, Ipaq) Although I have been accepted as a
Tapware developer and that system looks promising as it also has a
flashable ROM. Only time will tell. : )
What is so endearing about that Newt?
