Old computers and laptops

[whirlcool]

Some of our friends had TI-99/a computers. I thought they were a wonderful system, but as most people found out they should have made it more convenient to upgrade rather than having to use an external upgrade box.

I just added another obsolete computer to my unofficial museum: an Apple Newton 300. The Newton line was a PDA line, ancestor I guess to the iPhone/iPod Touch, which got killed off soon after Steve Jobs returned to Apple. The Newton 300 was one of the last Newtons, more a small laptop than a PDA. Some still like these as portable word processors, although I have to think I'd probably be better off with an old Mac PowerBook, since I can run the same word processing program on it that I run on my old Mac. (Keep things simple, and make moving files about easier.) Still, I couldn't resist this Newton, particularly since it was next to nothing.
