I would agree with you. But when the MacAddict folks put a Mac 128k as
a "Mac that says it all", I couldn't help but thinking that it was as
functional (and costly) as the first Newton. And the Newton, like the
Mac 128k, changed computing forever ... it broke ground for companies
like Palm, Handspring, WindowsCE, etc.
