from Aug 9, 1993 TidBITS:

"A quick course in terminology. Newton is the machine type, whereas
MessagePad is the specific model, much as Macintosh is the machine type,
and Quadra 840AV is the specific model. So it's perfectly acceptable to
talk about the Newton, much as you would talk about the Macintosh. The fact
that only one model of the Newton exists right now is moot."

hmmm. this is as official a source as I've found. sorry to be late to the
party, but came across this tonight whilst searching for other things.

later,
