Jesus Weeping God – we’ve been down this road before.
Forbes.com has yet another “Newton was a smelly sock” article and photo series focusing on Apple and the Bandai gaming platform. And guess which pioneering, monochrome product is also featured?
That’s right, the Newton. And don’t forget to include the photo gallery, you pimps. Up yours Forbes – again.

From Larry Tesler, former member of Apple’s Newton development group:

It was, technically, the “next big thing,” (or, actually, here) but in a different mode than “computing.”
