    there is an old joke:

    question: How many Newtons does it take to change a lightbulb?

    answer: Farm

    We had armed our sales staff with $15k worth of these 'lil gadjets way back when, and they were placed in paperweight mode within 2 weeks. They were the joke of the industry when released, and still to this day I laugh whenever I think of the name.

    The UI was so bad we used to have contests to seel who's could fuck-up a client list or data pack worse, and there were many, many ties.

    The boss got a bit upset when he realized none of us were using the Newtons after a month, and when we asked him to show us what we were doing wrong his reply was "I don't have to use these damned thngs, I just have to pay for them"- it seems he never really got the hang of using his either.

    @OMG! Ponies!: This just in: Steve Jobs in a coma after a newton strikes him in the head. No word yet on whether this was an Apple Newton or a Fig.
