I discovered the Newton with my faithful MessagePad US MP2000 (later upgraded to 2100), which I bought in October 1997. It was quite different from any computer I used before. The user experience has nothing to do with what has been done before (the closest user experience is SELF desktop).
I found the development tools and the documentation on the Internet (see the FAQ for many links, for example on this mirror). I also discovered on the Internet, as I was looking for help, the Newton Community mainly centered on the NewtonTalk mailing list and the Usenet newsgroups. I owe nearly everything to this community of developers and Newton users.
All the software here are free except ATA Support. If you like them (or want to complain), please drop me a line. You can also make a donation.
