To the best of my fuzzy recollection, it that this package did indeed
originate form Apple, from the Newton group itself. It was at the time
when Steve Jobs was cleaning out all of Apple's closets. The Newton group
was being gutted after being pulled back into Apple, and this was done as a
bit of gallows pole humor. It's not meant to do anything, other than a
half-hearted attempt to bring the newton into the "new" Apple.
As usual, my information is probably wrong, and I don't remember where I
heard this but it was in the dark times of 1998.
Hope this clears/obscures things a bit more.
later,
ben.
