Hi all,

Quick introduction, my name is Emanuel, new to the list but my first ever Apple device in 1994 was a Newton MessagePad 100 that I bought here in Germany in apprentice days, which I sadly no longer own. I (not so) recently got my hands on a Messagepad 120 and managed to build myself a serial cable. ( https://schleuss.online/@emanuel/114404361266026324 ) . My goals will be to use the C/C++ SDKs available to experiment if I can do some graphics programming on it. Ultimate goal will be to release a „Demo“ for it (I am a long-time computer demoscener - if this does not ring a bell -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene ). 

First off, as information on all things Newton is scarce, are there any traces of graphical demos, ideally with source code, for the Newton that I can leverage to accelerate my learning? 

Happy to be part of the community here, great to see Newton is still around :-)

best
Emanuel
