[NTLK] Newton mentioned in a ZDNet article

[Cus Ervino]

A multiple-issued $1.200 ticket (5 times for, in my case: MP100, 110, 120, 130 and 2000... :-) but each and every time well spent! 

The rest of the Newton stuff, I collected it "after the rush", at more reduced prices (Motorola Marco, Siemens Phone, etc.) and still fire them up now and them for the beauty of it.

BRAVO for your words, Doctor Clu!

Cheers
Ervino

However let's not remember it for how much money it cost Apple. Instead, let us remember it as a rare tech shooting star that shone brightly for as short -- very short -- time and as one of the very first tablet devices to use a handwriting feature. Granted it didn't work super well, but hey, props for being first, right?”

Oh yeh, because people are critics and follow what they read on the internet.  Granted sometimes it is right, but I really don’t think they try this stuff out for themselves.
