not sure how well known this already was, but i just stumbled upon an archive of super high-res 35mm photos of Newton and NeXT photos from the 90s, by photographer doug menuez. the vast majority are candid b+w snapshots of the newton and next teams as they grind through workdays and product launches

happy to belatedly discover this full 2.5h interview with Newton software engineer Steve Capps which goes into serious depth on the NewtonOS development and history of apple
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsaGx0loR3M
(conducted by the director of the Love Notes to Newton doc)
my first retrocomputing local pickup of 2026: an Apple Newton MessagePad 120.
almost passed on this one, as i'm more interested in an MP2100. but the seller's photo showed that it was running NewtonOS 2.0, which meant that it is an apple-upgraded MP120 with an 8MB ROM.
this is a rather huge upgrade, because it provides the exceptional Rosetta handwriting recognition (and mercifully puts an end to the lame simpsons meme)
thanks lunar. i *will* remember my shareware feel!

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.
