I was browsing shopgoodwill.com and came across this lot that looked like mostly junk:

But out of the corner of my eye, I saw something that looked grabbed my attention:

A MessagePad 120! I won the lot for $26--I have no idea if the Newton works, but I figured it was worth the risk. I already have a MessagePad 2000, but I don't have the battery tray or a stylus for it, so it isn't great as a PDA. This 120 comes with some documentation, and it looks like the stylus is in its holder which is great. It also comes with a battery charger dock, so I am hoping that it has a NiCd battery that I can recell. I'll post an update when it arrives and I can find out if it works.
