Wireless eMate

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Jul 29th, 2006

Newton users, they are a crafty bunch. Nevermind the fact that Apple killed the Newton years ago, that doesn't stop the enthusiasts from tricking out their PDA of choice. The latest Newton 'hack' comes in the form of adding a WiFi card to an eMate.

What will Newton users do next?

Rig of the Day: Mac, iPod, Newton

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Apr 13th, 2006

Here's a great shot of three siblings. JoeBob posts a photo of his SE, original iPod and Newton eMate, which seems to be running Newtonworks (?). Unfortunately, the SE is displaying the dreaded blinking question mark. Time to give that thing a little TLC, Joey.

For the month of April, the theme for our Rig of the Day will be "Vintage Macs" in honor of Apple's anniversary. If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool. Let's see your vintage Macs (Apples and Newtons, too)! We'll select an image every day to highlight.

Rig of the Day: Great vintage collection

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jan 26th, 2006

Check this out. Flickr user Henri has got a great set of vintage Apple products in his snapshot. Note the (blueberry?) iMac, the Powerbook, Newton Message Pad, the Apple PowerCD with remote (wow), eMate, Color Classic and a Twentieth Anniversary Mac. I must confess, I had never seen an Apple PowerCD before, and had to write to Henri for an explanation.

Wall clock from Newton eMate spare parts

by Fabienne Serriere (RSS feed) on Jan 12th, 2006

What do you do when you have a ton of spare parts from Newton eMates lying around? Make a gutted eMate wall clock of course!

Andrew Peleikis of Canada had collected many eMates from eBay for repair purposes. The extra parts--a logic board, a screen, and a battery--were enough to make a working, albeit rather naked Newton wall clock. He then used the BigCountdown app (handily this app only works on eMates and Newton Message Pads) to display a large clock on his eMate's display. Newton geeks rock my strange little hardware hacking world.

Newton Museum going-out-of-business sale

by C.K. Sample, III (RSS feed) on Dec 22nd, 2005

If this large vintage collection of Macs made its way into Dave's basement, I'm sure all the Newton-related items being offered up in this eBay auction will also end up there.

The complete collection of The Newton Museum's stock is up for grabs and it's nothing if not a thorough collection. I mean, they even have an eMate. Anyway, everyone else is digging this, so I thought we should too. If you win it, let us know.
