I still own a Newton.  Used it heavily back in the 90&#x27;s.  At MacWorld in &#x27;97 or &#x27;98 I was in an Adobe presentation where John Knoll was demonstrating how he did special effects for a Star Trek movie.  At one point, he offered to give away a copy of After Effects for whoever had the best drawing of Bill Gates -- on a Newton.  I jumped up and hurried to the front, drawing a smiley face as I walked up the aisle.  Just as he saw the screen, the handwriting recognition converted the drawing to &quot;Owwh&quot;.    He still gave me the software.<p>I keep the Newton in my desk drawer.  It still works great, but I am writing this on an iPad, sitting on a plane.  I wouldn&#x27;t go back.
