Newton MessagePad Displays Color

Everything in this video was done with a Newton Messagepad 2000... the color, the music, everything. Used a EZ2VGA card to have the video out and was captured into video by a G4 Mac with EyeTV. (Actually used two Newton 2000's... one for the music, one for the video.) Enjoy! BTW The song is "Guitar Slinger", and the original artist and other music can be found at...

Glad you liked it! This was actually the first video I made ever and considering it was all done on Newtons I think it did well. :)

This is a Newton that was connected to a VGA monitor. So that was how it was displaying color. A EZ2VGA card. So considering the Newton normally does 16 shades of gray, this is pretty cool!

Very nice... well done! I took a Newt on my honeymoon last year, having been told that taking a laptop wouldn't be very romantic! Despite being ten years old, it was still great. The batteries lasted the whole three weeks, and I entertained myself on flights, and wrote a diary. Awesome technology, ahead of its time. (If a little pricey...)

Is Newton in color? How are you displaying this? Can you show the actual Newton color screen? t looks like a video you spliced together. But if it isnt, how do you do it?!?! -Robert Eddy
