      I got it for 30£ in eBay from a very knowledgeable seller who helped me use the newton when I got it

        I don’t suppose the seller also has a 20th anniversary Macintosh? I remember seeing the adverts for them when they were released, and I’ve lusted after them since.

          A buddy of mine had one when at first came out. It was a huge disappointment. Very slow, very expensive for what you get, and a tiny screen. Having one as a collectors item might be nice, but, as a Mac, it wasn’t very powerful at all.

            Just found one for £1800 plus shipping. I don’t want to collect them that much.

            I’m happy for it to just be a pleasant memory.

              Considering that it was $7500 New, that’s a bargain if it’s in good condition.
