This "Modern Era" is more of clickbait IMHO. I'm still waiting for Newton made right (no, Remarkable, you didn't).
Why don't people run the newton emulator on modern hardware? I assume it would look beautiful on the remarkable, full screen and all.
Because it wasn't all that great. The handwriting recognition was barely usable (and I am being generous) and the whole thing was slow and impractical. I had a couple of friends who had Newtons and they quietly disappeared into drawers after the initial excitement. Psion and PalmOS devices were more modest but those were the ones that people actually used.
What people want is not the Newton but some mythical device that they wanted the Newton to be. As the parent post said: "Newton made right", whatever that means.
