[NTLK] Intro mail and WTB nice MP2000/2100 (no accessories needed) and Homebrew MP2100 upgrades

[steveC]

A Raspberry Pi (Zero?) that would fit onto a PCMCIA card and automatically
push-pull stuff from Storage to a cloud storage service, using the Pi to
connect over modern WiFi would be great in my opinion. I would use the eMate
for typing stuff all of the time - the keyboard and form factor is great for
my hands... But the connectivity options for Windows users are so tough
these days they might as well not exist.

Agreed on all your points. I'm just stuck in that I need connectivity for my
Newton, and no longer have any vintage kit to connect through. I currently
use what you mentioned here--OneNote on the Surface. It's the closest to a
Newton I've found, but no replacement--there is no replacement for the
paperroll on the Newton, to be honest. It's a great loss that all of that
has been lost. On my Surface, I use OneNote and GoogleKeep (on my phone
mostly), and between the two, it almost works--but that word "almost"
makes a huge difference.

I have thought of using my Newton as a stand-alone device, without
connectivity, like a virtual notebook.... but every time I take it out and
power it up, it all comes back, and it is just too painful to try to use,
knowing what I left behind... I sort of envy you the ability to use it,
without all that nostalgia getting in your way.
