Well when Newton Inc. was absorbed back into Apple they rebranded the
MP2100 as Apple. You can tell the difference as the MP2000 apple logo
fits perfectly into a apple shape in the housing. When the 2100 came
out they just made a round area for the Newton logo to go, and so when
Newton Inc was absorbed back into Apple they took out the Newton Logo
"buttons" and put in a Apple button. But it is not as form fitting as
the area in the housing was just a round indentation. This is of course
just the housing, the insides are the same as any other 2100.
