Now Greg,

How about your Atari man! ;-) you are a well verse person as I've seen...
Not just PCs and Macs on your door step there eh ;-)
Those I'd imagine are just scraping the top of the iceberg...
But Newtons definitely are forever! :D

God bless,

   Oh yeh, I was ticked off in 1999 with Apple and used an Atari TT for most of 1999/2000.  You know, if Apple hadn't ticked me off then, I probably would not be back into Atari as a hobby at all come to think of it.
   Athlon 1.2 ghz PC (because of IT job) till about late 2002 when the bios forgot I had a keyboard, mouse...  :(
   I had picked up a 68030 660 A/V Mac for $5 at a flea market and that reminded me how cool Macs were.  When the Athlon died I got a replacement motherboard per warrenty, which I didn't care.  
   Picked up two G3 Mac Laptops at that point, been back with Mac since.
   Lived off an Amiga 3000 in 2003(?) for like two months and liked it till the SCSI drive died in it.. twice.  That was the end of the Amiga world for me.
   Lived off an Atari 800 in 2005 for a month for the retro challenge.  That was fun.  Actually when I stopped using Newtons and Mac Duos as much because I realized why did I need portable computers?  I have a computer at work, a computer at home.  I can wait till I get to one or the other, and anything in between I can jot down a note (or dictate on a voice note with my phone).
   I believe I lived off a Newton as a DESKTOP for a few months.  Had a VGA card & ethernet.  It was a good little desktop, just got tired of switching the ethernet card with my 32 meg card.
   Next stop... the Dreamcast!  ;)  (Trying to build that up to try as a computer platform.)
   Any other good suggestable computer platforms to try out?
   (I keep hoping and might help in tinkering with the Atari 7800 or Jaguar if they gain more computer modules.)
   Oh!  The TRS-80 Model 100 with the monitor interface and drives... just amazing!
   And the Intellivision computer module.. if only it had a serial port.  Maybe I need to see if one can be hacked.  :)
   Doc Clu
