The Apple Newton MessagePad 120 made a surprise cameo in the third season of the Apple TV series For All Mankind, and one of the show's producers shed some light on how the TV accessory was used. Ben McGinnis, producer of Tall Ship Productions and part of the team behind "For All Mankind," shared behind-the-scenes images of Newton's accessories on Twitter on Thursday. In the series, Newton MessagePad was used for video calls between actors. At least one person was also seen handling digital messages. According to McGinnis, the modified Newtons have a detachable camera for video calls. Real accessories fit inside an iPhone 12 Pro Max, allowing actors to use the front camera for video calls. Apple Newton itself was launched in 1993 as a personal digital assistant (PDA) with handwriting recognition and an optical pencil included. It implemented its own patented operating system, Newton OS, and most were based on an ARM 610 RISC processor. Apple eventually killed the Newton family in full in 1998, shortly after Steve Jobs returned to the company. However, during his execution he did not admit video calls or the other advanced functions seen in the program. McGinnis explained that the technology advances faster [the show-s] 1990s. For All Mankind, it's an alternative story of the space race, an image of whether the competition between nations never ended. The first season began in the late 1960s, the second season focused on the 1980s and the last season progressed until the 1990s.

Happy to report I have updated my MessagePad 2000 (upgraded) and 2100 successfully! They are both now in the year 2025! Good for another 15 years.

Alright, after needlessly fiddling with BasiliskII (I really needed to
have it run MacOS 8.1!) and a bit of sloppiness, here's the updated
patch for the Y2010 problem for eMates:
40hz.org/downloads/Patch-732000.zip
As before, I would definitely recommend to wait with patching until
people who can safely wipe the patch have tried it out and reported
success. Wiping an eMate is done the same way as with the MessagePads,
give it a MP2x00 ROM board and it will clear the internal flash.
Unfortunately, this patch has the same missing feature as the patch for
the German MessagePads, the time will always reset to Jan 1st 2024
after a reset or power loss. That's something left for a rainy day.

I currently have Scott Hardin working on my Macintosh Portables, and he might know of some. There is also a guy in New York who is good, and I had a guy who worked on my Atari Jaguar who was quite good. See what I can dig up.
