This unboxing by @researchreisen of a still shrink-wrapped copy of Newton Press for the Apple Newton brings back memories of the packaged software era.

I loved picking items out of the box and leafing through the manuals, brochures, and forms that came with the product. I read every single bit of printed information, including floppy disk labels.

I finally have a AA battery tray for my MessagePad 2100! I was able to remix an existing 3D model so it worked with some AA battery springs I already had.

The model is pretty tricky to print and took several tries to get right. It's not perfect but it's working.
