Mo' Better Blogging With Newton

Moblogs are the latest in cutting-edge personal publishing. To partake, users tend to require a pricey smartphone or fancy handheld, but several are using ancient technology -- Apple's orphaned Newton. By Leander Kahney.

So far, I've heard of only one Philmugger with a Newton. Too bad he can't find the stylus

uh, i think you might be confusing mike's emate for the newton mike's kid lost the stylus. i'm sure quite a number of muggers own newtons. wwe have one member (maybe from the old list--not sure if he's still with us), vandermaster, who owns a bevy of newtons, emates, and 2400c's.

Is vandermaster the same person as The Future Lies Ahead, a.k.a. Boojie Basilio? I recall Boojie being on a Newton-buying kick a few months back.

Thanks for your post, MIGS!

Made me dig up my old Newton MessagePad 2000 w/ keyboard, w/c I had bought together w/ my 3400c some 7 years ago. The story provides leads on how to keep the Newton "current" in terms of software & hardware that I just may call it back into active duty soon.

Now that I think about it, I really should've gone all out for the Newton holster that BOB had sold at his garage sale a few months ago. Oh well!

Is Mike Manzano a Pinoy? Does anyone in Philmug know him? His name sounds pinoy and he certainly looks pinoy.

I too am interested to know if Mike is a Pinoy.

Mike responded to my blog entry about the Wired article and didn't seem to mind me calling him "Pinoy." Unless, of course, he doesn't know what Pinoy means.
