In 2001, my wife and I were in the process of buying the house we currently live in now and we had a house inspector inspecting the house in order to complete the purchase. There’s not much that I remember from our house buying experience, but the thing I do remember is this: the house inspector was using an Apple Newton.
I tried to glance over his shoulder to see what he was marking down with his stylus. I never got a good look, but I remember thinking, “how cool”. The Newton is still beautiful to me and I’ve wanted to buy one from eBay for a long time now. One of these days…
