The Apple Newton...Man Old Tech is Cool

A few years back I was given a Apple product I had never seen before then and found it very interesting. The product was the Apple Newton. The Newton was Apples early Attempt at a personal digital assistant (PDA), and some say its first tablet platform for the company, the second being the platform used in the "i" series of products(iPod, iPad, iPhone). This product line ran from 1987 to 1998. The Newton featured handwriting recognition software. Many company's including Sharp and Motorola used Apples Operating System used in the Newton for there own PDA products.
