[ | ==History and background== | ||
Newton-tan was created as another genetically-altered project, designed to be useful to the Apple-tans and other people she worked with to quickly and cleanly record what they write. Unfortunately, her family may have placed too much hype on her abilities (as a consequence, inflating her ego), and placed their expectations too high and unrealistically. | |||
In her work, she had some writing mistakes she still can't live down, and shamefully retired in 1998. She still lives as a Wanderer, and is often seen with [[A/UX|A/UX-tan]]. However, she did have some influence, teaching the younger generation Macs how to write, and may have inspired the eventual creation of iPhone-tan. | |||
