The Newton was a hilariously heavy and clunky device that made you look like you were gunning for a position in Starfleet. In that era, nobody had a PDA except Newton people and even notebook computers were cripplingly expensive, so having one made you part of a fairly elite group.

At the time, the Newton was ridiculed for it's less than accurate handwriting recognition. It was a touch-stone for comedy, where shows like Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons would find endless potential.

Google Glass should be so lucky as to have this kind of presence.

If anything, it's destined to be the Nintendo VirtualBoy.
