Technostalgia?

Newton Never Dies. It only gets new Hardware? Now there's a serious technology flashback! May I just give you a peek view into one of my drawers?

Not so with the Newton: I am still a proud owner of two MessagePads! (Well, maybe it's got to do with that nobody wanted them at any discount, but anyway.) And reading about Einstein to revive Newton (wouldn't that make a nice image?), I think I might just go and buy a Linux PDA ...
