Two thoughts on design.
1) NEWTON HOME OFFICE WORKSTATION: The "Clear Dock" of Adriano's is the
ultimate core design for a home Newton work-space. It can be used with
or without modifying the stock Newton keyboard, either way to your
liking. It could also be made of other material.
2) NEWTON FOLDING SUPPORT: If the aluminum device noted below is the one
I'm thinking of that I saw recently it's made of thin aluminum that
could be stamped out of a single sheet of stock just thick enough to
attach the pivot pins to it. This to me is the ultimate "portable"
stand. It may be "Jon's" design, not sure.
Both of these design concepts are so fundamentally pure they can not be
further perfected. Kudos for timeless design just proving once again the
power of simplicity.
Lest no-one copy this intellectual property as they should meet certain
and imminent demise ;-)
