[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1170446"] Say what?? The Newton was a HUGE hit! VERY popular, particularly with managers and doctors. And it would have gone on being a big hit if Palm hadn't come up with a more efficient handwriting technique that worked more consistently ... by the time Apple improved the handwriting recognition, everyone had moved to Palm. The Pippin, likewise, was most certainly not a "flop," since it was never released. It never had a chance to be judged a flop OR a hit. Now the G4 Cube ... THAT was a flop. Very VERY cool for its time, but overpriced. [/QUOTE]
