Designed and printed a 4 x AA NiMH battery tray for the Apple eMate. This lets me change the batteries out quickly because they're not soldered, welded, or wrapped together. The bottom of the tray is open so you can push the batteries out easily. The fit should be snug.

Today was a good day for #AppleNewton acquisition … three boxes of #MessagePad goodies from a longtime Newton user. I’m going to inventory and document the new additions for the quiver and hopefully distribute multiple items to the community. A huge thanks to Claus for his generosity.
