This January 2000 Fortune interview https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2000/01/24/272277/ https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2000... is also relevant. It also turns out that Walt Mossberg described the Newton as 'a sort of “post-PC” device' in 1993: http://allthingsd.com/19930812/the-apple-newton-messagepad-review/ http://allthingsd.com/19930812/the-apple-newton-messagepad-r... .
