Today we’ll be further covering the personal digital assistant or PDA, with the Apple Newton clones or “killers,” the Casio Zoomer and Amstrad PenPad. This is the podcast where we take an informal look at personal computing history through the lens of eBay auctions. It’s sort of like Antiques Roadshow, but all about antique personal computers. http://www.historyofpersonalcomputing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/HofPC-51-1.output.mp3 Links mentioned in this episode:  Replacement C-64 Motherboards http://www.nytimes.com/1993/11/09/science/personal-computers-zoomers-newtons-real-life-so-far-promise-exceeds-usefulness.html ftp://ftp.oldskool.org/pub/tvdog/tandy1000/faxback/02502.txt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenPad  Auctions:  Jeff’s auction: Vintage Radio Shack Tandy Z-PDA Model 25-3100 PALM Personal Digital Assistant David’s auction: CASIO ZOOMER Jeff’s auction: DATAROVER 840 WITH CASE BY GENERAL MAGIC David’s auction: Tandy ZPDA Zoomer Personal Digital Assistant Jeff’s auction: Texas Instruments Day Runner PS-2100 Data Bank Calculator David’s auction: Motorola Marco Vintage PDA Wireless Communicator Jeff’s random auction: ULTRA RARE VINTAGE PORSCHE COMMODORE PET 8096 SK COMPUTER (VGC) David’s random auction: Vintage Heathkit H8 Computer  Send feedback to feedback@HistoryOfPersonalComputing.com because we really would love to receive your email or audio comment.
