A brief December 1994 cover story from the Byte.com archives.
It Begins:
"Negative reviews are bad enough, but when your company's new product is ridiculed for a whole week in Doonesbury, you know you've got a public-relations disaster.
Most products wouldn't survive such a withering blast. But Apple keeps plugging away with the Newton MessagePad, keeping a low profile while building for a hopefully brighter future.
`People ask me what it's like to work on the Newton,'' says Steve Capps, an Apple Fellow (senior scientist). `I tell them I'm thick-skinned, but not thick-headed. We've got to stick with the Newton but be wise about it.'"
