The BARRIER - No More Scratched Screens 259
Press Release
RE: The BARRIER
For Immediate Release
Los Alamos, NM ---- RoadRunner Tracks announced on June 23, 1994 the
availability of The BARRIER, a thin protective
membrane that you can install on your Newton screen in less than a minute! It
protects your screen from scratches, keeps
Newton out of the repair shop, provides a superior writing surface, reduces
glare, and lasts for several months.
More Protection Now use your Newton the way youve always wanted towithout fear
of scratching or marring the expensive
Newton screen surface. Even if you keep your Newton in a case, it is still
vulnerable to scratches. Every time you stroke
the stylus across the screen surface you risk creating scratches. The
smallest particle of dust or dirt on the stylus tip can
carve up the screen and permanently engrave your last word, sentence, or
gesture. (Wouldnt a large rubout look wonderful
as a permanent addition to your screen?!) The BARRIER is easy to clean and
keep clean. If, somehow, The BARRIER
becomes scratched, all you need do is remove it and replace it yourself.
Dont give up the Newton Even if Apple is currently repairing pen scratches on
your 110 screen at no charge (SOS Apple
reports screen repairs and/or replacements for the Newton can cost up to
$400)you loose the use of Newton for the week
or two required to repair the screen. Can you work without your Newton for
that time?! The BARRIER can keep the Newton
in your hands, not the repair shop.
Easier to Write The BARRIER provides a more consistent writing surface without
dead and slick spots that can affect your
writing. A more uniform and dependable writing surface can improve your
handwriting which in turn can help increase the
accuracy of handwriting recognition. You can even write with a pencil or your
fingernail.
Reduces Glare Need a mirrorin a pinchuse a Newton! The Newton screen surface
makes a terrific mirror, but if your goal i
s to read the information behind your portrait reflected in the screen then
perhaps you will like the way The BARRIER
reduces distracting reflections, glare, and fingerprints. In addition, due to
the clarity of material, it is virtually undetectable
when installed.
The BARRIER easily installs between the case and the screen. It does not use
any adhesive or dust attracting static.
This material has been researched and developed specifically for the Newton
screen. The BARRIER surface is soft
enough to navigate easily yet each one is durable enough to last several
months. In fact, the only reason you should
need to replace the BARRIER is if some foreign object damages the disposable
BARRIER surface.
The BARRIER Package contains 4 Barriers for the Apple Newton MessagePad (100
and 110). The BARRIER
costs $21.95 (Plus $2.50 shipping and handling per package)
RoadRunner Tracks is currently accepting orders for the BARRIER by phone,
mail, and E-mail. Payment methods
are Visa/Mastercard, personal check or money order. Please specify Newton
model number.
