> My Kindle Scribe makes me a little sad every time I use it.

I played with a 30something friend's brand new ReMarkable a few years ago. I was torn between tears and rage. It is so miserable and dumb and primitive. I own 2 Newtons. The poor guy was shocked and baffled by my reaction.

Yes, I agree, Snow Leopard was peak OS X. Riccardo Mori wrote eloquently about this:

Yeah, managed to resist the ReMarkable --- the Kindle made the grade (rather than an Onyx BooX or something similar) because I already had a Paperwhite and I was pretty sure I could just default to e-book reading and get a decent value. That said, my next tech indulgence is a toss-up between either a Daylight Computer, or a Movink Pad. The DC seems like to the closest thing to a Newton alternative (other than a cell phone w/ a stylus such as my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+)

If I had managed to snag an Axiotron ModBook, I'd almost certainly still be using it w/ Snow Leopard.
