Came across this today while doing an un-related search.
Notice that Trudeau got his Newt *before* most other people:

**Where's my Newton?** -- If your daily newspaper offers a comics
  page, you may have guessed that Doonesbury author Garry Trudeau
  already has his Newton MessagePad, and you may be jealous! Not to
  worry; even though virtually all dealers in the "regional roll-out
  areas" such as Boston, New York, and San Francisco have run out of
  MessagePads, and some early purchasers have managed to resell
  their units for huge profits, the nationwide roll-out appears to
  be on schedule for Labor Day. According to Mark H. Anbinder,
  several dealers have reported hearing from Apple that they will
  receive their introductory shipments this week.
