There is an Easter Egg associated with this cartoon. In one of the Newtons
-- I think that it is the MP110 -- if you put "egg freckles" into Assist, a
frame of the Doonesbury cartoon will pop up. Rumor had it that Garry
Trudeau (a Mac user from way back) felt bad about being so hard on an Apple
product.
I just tried it on my MP2000 and 2100 and it didn't work, so it must have
been on my MP110, which is buried in the basement somewhere. Keep it green.

Subject: [NTLK] DOONESBURY's cartoon
"8-27-93
Apple launches the much-anticipated Newton, a hand-held Personal
Digital Assistant. Trudeau's series on the less-than-perfect product
puts Mike on the cover of Personal Electronic News magazine and leads
Apple chairman John Sculley to lament 'We either get more credit than
we deserve or get beat up more than we deserve.'"
