TalkAboutNewton

The NewtonMessagePad has a burgeoning online community. Even before the rise of the Internet, Newton users congregated on Apple's old eWorld online service, and in special sections of AOL and CompuServe.

Nowadays, there are a great deal of online mailing lists and discussion groups you can join to talk to other Newton users! Here's a list.

Mailing Lists

• NewtonTalk - Probably the grandaddy of them all, NewtonTalk has been steaming along since at least 1995. It still boasts around 1900 users (3/5/03), and is a very active group, often topping 3000 posts a month.
• German Newton list
• Dutch Newton list "Newtongebruikers"
• Newton FR (in French)

WebBoards

• I'm probably missing a lot of these, as they seem to pop up everywhere.
• Newted Community message boards
• Smaller.com message boards
• Apple's official discussion boards (click on Older Apple Products, then Newton)

Newsgroups

• comp.sys.newton.misc (general Newton discussion)
• comp.sys.newton.marketplace (buy/sell/trade/auction postings)
• comp.sys.newton.developer (developer/programming discussion)
• comp.sys.newton.announce (moderated, reserved for Newton-related announcements)

IRC (Internet Relay Chat)

• EFNet #newton

AIM Chats

• newtontalk - use Apple's iChat or AOL's AIM (and probably others) to join
