Pulled a Newton (110?) out of the trash today

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. :-)
Yes, as they say, "The price was right" :>
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.
It would be a realistic (not just a toy) replacement for my
pen&paper address book (which always sits in my desk drawer)
as it would give me some added flexibility (i.e. search).
But, I would have to extend it's current "Names" implementation.
And, figure out how to back it all up to a PC/Mac.

that there is a huge Newton community out there.
Thanks!
