There's an article on Jonathan Ive's, lead designer at Apple that
talks about the Newton. Here's what it says:
"The Newton software became known for being far ahead of its time—and
for disastrously mediocre voice-recognition software. But Ive won big
points for the hardware design—and with his colleagues for his work
ethic and refusal to compromise. He spent weeks in Taiwan with
manufacturers and labored endlessly to match the hardware
capabilities to the underlying software. As he was trying to master
the 3D CAD tool used to create the blueprint, "he didn't sleep for
like two weeks," recalls a colleague. "He had just insane attention
to detail."

Anyone catch the huge mistake?
