The media calls a flop. I would call it a device ahead of its time. What do you reckon? #AppleNewton #Retrohandheld xitter.cf/dickiebush/status/1828…

Replying to @dickiebush
Without its visionary leader, Apple was a lost ship. Product flops and infighting followed. One of the biggest misfires was the $700 Newton MessagePad. Launched in 1993, the "personal digital assistant" was supposed to be Apple's next big hit. Instead, it was a total embarrassment.

They never discontinued the iPod. They just repurposed it into the iPhone. And they seem to be doing just fine.

Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy was released 41 years ago today on Sept 14, 1984. Written by Steve Meretzky and Douglas Adams. It was #Infocom's 14th game. What a bad day! As the story begins a bulldozer is preparing to level your house. DON’T PANIC! #Commodore64 #Commodore #C64

Oh my, what do we have here? An ultra-budget eMachines T1100 from the early 2000s? Why.. yes! And it's even in nice shape! Let's explore it a bit, and see if we can make it do something useful. Time for a 🧵
