And finally, we wrap up the year with an announcement.</p> <h3>Follow Up</h3><ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/macfixer/status/1192031687020077058" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Icras DataRover 840</a> ran Magic Cap<ul> <li><a href="https://www.engadget.com/products/icras/datarover/840/user-scores/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">engadget product page</a></li> <li><a href="http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/generalMagic/Using_Magic_Cap.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">user manual PDF</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="http://appleturns.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">As the Apple Turns</a> — in reruns!</li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/samhenrigold/status/1194054589429014529" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">early version of "40 in 40"</a><ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyp_PczrqFE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wonderful Tools (2019)</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h3><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_publishing" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Desktop Publishing</a> Hardware</h3><ul> <li>analog <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paste_up" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">paste up</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/36zk56U" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Mac is Not a Typewriter</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PostScript</a><ul> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_PostScript" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Display PostScript</a></li> <li><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=HJK5AKeWUpUC&amp;lpg=PA932&amp;ots=CLDGbXLIQh&amp;dq=Adobe%20Type%20Manager%20%22init%22&amp;pg=PA370#v=onepage&amp;q=Adobe%20Type%20Manager%20%22init%22&amp;f=false" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">~ATM</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apple_printers" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">list of Apple printers</a><ul> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaserWriter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LaserWriter</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Scanner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scanner</a></li> </ul> <p>Cue the Imperial March.</p> <h3>Desktop Publishing Software</h3><ul> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_PageMaker" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aldus PageMaker</a><ul> <li><a href="https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/aldus-pagemaker-12" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">version 1.0</a> on Macintosh Garden</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://archive.org/details/MacWorld_8701_January_1987/page/n109?q=desktop+publishing" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">1987 Macworld roundup</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_FrameMaker" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">FrameMaker</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.quark.com/Products/QuarkXPress/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">QuarkXPress</a><ul> <li><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quarkxpress/id1445822612?mt=12" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">on the Mac App Store</a></li> <li><a href="https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/quarkxpress" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">version 1.10</a> on Macintosh Garden</li> <li><a href="https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/quark-xpress-332r2-plus-xtensions" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">version 3.3</a></li> <li><a href="https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/quark-xpress-40-passport" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">version 4.0</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://archive.org/details/MacWorld_9202_February_1992/page/n215?q=desktop+publishing" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">consumer apps</a><ul> <li><a href="https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/aldus-personal-press-202" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aldus Personal Press</a></li> <li><a href="https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/publish-it-easy-v219" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Publish It!

Recorded on the 10th anniversary of the iPhone announcement, we notice a lot of parallels between the development of Newton devices and the iOS devices we carry today.</p> <h3>Stocking stuffer followup</h3><ul> <li><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2108133360/cancel-save-notepad" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cancel/Save notepad</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.elagostore.com/stand/w-stand/w3-stand/est-wt3-wh.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">elago W3 stand</a><ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJCsYnwjzkY" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">512 Pixels video review</a></li> <li><a href="http://amzn.to/2jhtomu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">buy on Amazon</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul><h3><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Newton</a></h3> <ul> <li>Low End Mac: <a href="http://lowendmac.com/2013/the-story-behind-apples-newton/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Story Behind Apple’s Newton</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Louis_Gassée" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jean-Louis Gassée</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Sakoman" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Steve Sakoman</a></li> <li>Isaac Newton's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton#Apple_incident" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">"Apple incident"</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Inc." rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Be Inc.</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bjve67p33E" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Knowledge Navigator</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Hobbit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AT&amp;T Hobbit</a> processors</li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Card" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PCMCIA</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MessagePad#Newton_device_models" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">List of Newton models</a></li> </ul> <br/>                                                                                                                                  every Newton model                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <br/>                                                                                                                                  Newtons and clone                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <br/>                                                                                                                                  Newton keyboard                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <br/>                                                                                                                                  PCMCIA expansion                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   <a></a> <a></a> <ul> <li>the competition: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_(PDA)" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Palm</a><ul> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handspring_(company)#Visor_series" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Handspring Visor</a></li> <li>Ed's Palm PDAs: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Vx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vx</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_TX" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TX</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">WebOS</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>pop culture references<ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oBJXdegv7s" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">"Eat Up Martha"</a></li> <li>Doonesbury <a href="http://doonesbury.washingtonpost.com/strip/set/24" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">"Egg Freckles" etc.</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>Newton enthusiasts<ul> <li><a href="http://www.eggfreckles.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Thomas Brand</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/pguyot/Einstein" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Einstein emulator</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewtonScript" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NewtonScript</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup_(Apple)" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Soup</a> filesystem 🛎</li> </ul>
