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!
