Pulled a Newton (110?) out of the trash today
(complete with power, faxmodem, carrying case, etc.)
Appears to work.
Can these be repurposed? Or, is it just an oversized,
underpowered "notepad"?
They are quite nice, but 120's and 130's have much better handwriting
recognition, and the 2100 is the best/most useful of the Newton line.
But of course, you can't beat free. :-) 110's can be quite useful in
various ways, such as a graphics tablet with the right drivers on the
PC/Mac end, or as remote controls, and of course as they're intended: as
PDA's.

that there is a huge Newton community out there.
