Haha, I was just poking at my old BB too. I miss that thing, it was pretty
nice when hooked up to a BES. The iPhone has been the only device I ever liked
better, and even then not every aspect. With RIM all but defunct I’d love to
see the BB OS source be released some day too. Of course

Finishing up
The BB and Palm and Treo were faster and far more usable that the Newton.

I used a newton and still have it a box. It was heavy and very slow. Graffiti
didn’t work very well either. Microsoft came put with their first notepad
running Win/NT a few years after that but it was slow too. I think Newton was
just ahead of it’s time. The cpu’s needed to run it efficiently

ACK
How do Palm Pilot's compare to the Newton?
I had someone I respect and trust make a lot of comparisons between a
Palm T3 (?) I used to
Thanks David for taking this on. I think there are many who would
welcome Apple releasing Newton as they did for the early Macintosh
implementations.

That's only partly true. The Surveyor craft had
Some of you might recall that Apple released a series of machines based
on the Newton OS in the early 1990s. There were eight models in total
from Apple, and a few more from third parties who licensed both the
hardware and software to make eg. ruggedized handhelds, or "smart"
(landline)
I was worried before the first lunar landing, because prior to sending
passengers, they had never previously managed a soft landing, nor take-off
from anywhere but Earth.
Then, one of the Sci-Fi magazines included a very short story (a couple of
paragraphs), in which the capsule settled down

I hate what epay is doing to our hobby.
I prefer to sell and trade between our selves as reasonable prices
understanding that a lot of what we do is sweat equity.
If you think the hobby is bad, you should see what happened to housing.

They instead chose the ever-popular Simplified Planetary Landing
Approach Trajectory.
-BUT- That does not mean it *can't* be restored, only that $15,000 is
ridiculous for a machine that clearly needs an expert with time and money.
