Groovy

Nah, it's just that it was such a big thing when it was first released. The Newton bombed pretty badly, partly because it was an Apple machine, partly because it was expensive and partly because the first version had rather poor handwriting-recognition. They fixed that with software updates, but by then it already had a bad reputation. The final nail in the coffin must have been the introduction of the Palm Pilot.
