What to do with 4,000 Newton modems

That was a fun day, setting those up and sending them on their way. :)

Just for the record: I called "Band-in-a-Box" long before I saw the closing credits.

Well super. Now I want to listen to A Flock of Seagulls, and I can't find my copy of their first album. Thank you VERY much.

Damn good stuff, too.

the video length is perfect as-is. this is genius!

OoOh, I saw this! I love how Apple was, not sure about is, such a laid back company. I believe that freedom was what lead to such innovation.

a reference to "full house" maybe?

and i'm guessing this is why jobs axed the newton... little piece of gold that they were

ahh, it's always good to see apple employees being so upbeat and eager to play, even in the dark dark 1990s. "the power to take a joke." -- we love ya and miss ya, apple that was. i wish a bit more of that apple existed today, even though i'm very happy with apple overall.

Would you good folks be able to convert videos also to a iPhone - iPod-touch format too, and then provide an additional download link for that under the main vid', or am i missing something -like an iPhone optimised tuaw url? The Apple developer "Designing Web Content for iPhone" taught me about this in a fine tech tute vid'.

Which newton needed an external modem? I seem to remember my original messagepad had a phone jack in it.

Wouldn't Flock of Seagulls make a better reference to something coming from the 80's rather than 90's?

According to Wikipedia in the 80's Flock of Seagulls had 14 singles (with 8 songs that charted on one form of chart or another in the world). In the 90's they only had 3 singles (none of which charted)

Maybe a reference to the grunge era would be in order?
