When I got an SE many years ago, my grandmother thought it was an antique Magnavox television when she first saw it.
This past year, I used my 180c as a note-taking machine in a classroom I was observing. The students thought it was one of those toy laptops that can be purchased at a toy store. They were surprised to find out that it was a former top-of-the-line machine that was twice their age!
Nice pickups, by the way. The PB100 floppy drive is definitely nice. Is there a way to change language settings on the Newton like there is on the iPods? (My mom's new iPod Touch came from the factory with Danish as its language default for some reason but that was easily changed).
