Thirty years ago today, Apple announced the #MessagePad 130, the first #NewtonOS device to offer a transflective LCD display with electroluminescent backlighting.

Twenty eight years ago today, Apple discontinued development of #NewtonOS and its related hardware products.

Yet, here we are.

Just arrived from Japan!

I hope the floppy still works.

Update: I found it!

Attention #AppleNewton users … does anyone happen to have a copy of Enfour’s Japanese Newton Language Kit (NLK)?

It was made available to #MessagePad owners running the Japanese version of #NewtonOS.

Not sure if was a download of on CD. Even an exported copy of the packages would suffice.

Boosts welcome.

Anyone remember PC Expo? I attended PC Expo '98 and '99 at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC, mainly with an interest in handheld computing.

Shortly after the shuttering of #eWorld, Apple released HideEworld, a software extension for #NewtonOS which disabled the stationery and email transport used to access eWorld and the NewtonMail online services.

Twenty nine years ago today, Apple announced Newton Toolkit 1.6 with full support of #NewtonOS 2.0 at Macworld Expo in San Francisco.

“… a new standard for integration between PDAs and personal computers.”

Can anyone recommend an app for importing a text file into a soup or for converting it into a pkg file? The text file consists of records delimited by newlines these in turn consist of fields separated by commas or tabs.

The first field (aka first column) should be used as the key.

I know I can massage the data into #NewtonScript arrays and use Einstein to convert it into a pkg, but I'd prefer an alternate path.

My MessagePad 2100 is getting a little ... sticky.
