TUAW reader Paul writes in to tell us he just picked up a used Messagepad 120 for under ten bucks. (Lucky guy!) It should arrive later this week. So, now what? As a proud new Newton owner, what are the best ways to use his new gadget?

Newton intro video
macTV has dug up a real gem: the instructional video that shipped with Newton in 1994. For most, this is just a peice of cultish nostalgia. But if, like Dave, you've still got a Newton that's going strong, you might pick up a few pointers...or not. ...
NewtonIM updated

More "New Newton" rumors
