I got a present from my sister this last Christmas a book called "Cult of Mac" in it was a chapter about the Newton and the community around this Product.

It looks like a fun product and one worth collecting (I have no other use for it except interest )

I have seen them for sale on Ebay and have seen this offer

It's cheap enough for me to afford and it is a usable piece of Apple history.

Has anyone here got one? If So Please share what you think with me either via Pm or by posting here

Thanks

A friend had one when they first came out back in the 90s and I remember being impressed - but was the screen in green and black (ie non colour), if memory serves me right.
