@MrSeamusCoughlin this thing isnt just a laptop though, it had amazing handwriting recognition and it was way ahead of its time. You could beam messages and print from it and all kinds of stuff i wish i could do in my school today

I guess Apple thought that university students would hate the "grey scale" screens,

since many university students like to play video games, like HALO or WarCraft.

It was really stupid of Apple Inc. to market these devices to children

rather than "adults of all ages". The one drawback of these devices

I think was that it was not possible to send your letter to a printer.

Or could you? Apple should have slashed the price and marketed it

to college students. The ability to write equations using a stylus pen,

in the middle of your essay (report) was nice. Why did they market it

to kids, and not "senior citizens"?

There's a rumor that Jobs killed the Newton line to get back at John Sculley for firing him.

Now some school districts are considering iPod Touches for these purposes... Junk.... One golden rule, an Educational device, WILL ALWAYS NEED, ALWAYS HAVE, a stylus.
