I wouldn't even really describe the auction title and description as
"misleading" but rather "haphazardly vague". Possibly it's the result
of someone not particular familiar with the Newton line posting the
auction. Were this a Windows CD that served exactly the same function
for a desktop PC, it probably WOULD be a reasonable description, because
that's how keywords for desktop kit get put together.
