Honestly, these devices were brilliant. Sadly, people didn't see them as PDAs so much as expensive toys. I absolutely love my Casio Zoomer, and my Newton.

@FreudRulz Yep still using my Newton today. Sad to see Jobs go. Amazing how many incorrectly think that he was behind the development of the Newton.

Thanks for uploading this! Great stuff.

@BrianPicchi

You're welcome. I think you'd be surprised how good this handwriting recognition is on the Newton OS 2.0 and Newton OS 2.1 compared to what you can find today. The accuracy rates possible are just as good as anything else you can find today.
