@deadbeefdotmonster @vyr Very cool! I used to have an m100 and was learning C on the Macintosh at the time, so didn't really delve into PalmOS very deep.

In the early aughts, I was trying to decide between a #Palm Tungsten/Sony Clié/Palm Treo on in one hand or older #AppleNewton #MessagePad 2100 in the other. "I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference," to quote Robert Frost.

(I think I prefer an underdog. Or, maybe I'm just a masochist?)

@mcc @mhoye The #Apple #Newton #Messagepad 2100 was just an excellent device. I still miss certain features it had. For example, you could drag text/images with the stylus and drop it at any edge/margin of the application. You could drop as many snippets as you like. Even if you switch to another page, the snippets were still there and you could drop it.

Here is even an enhancement request for #LibreOffice that is inspired by it:
