Up the Apples and pears

What does it say about me, that when on Matt Brown’s blog I read

A quick note to point UK readers in the direction of the new-look Newton’s Apple website

my first thought was “Apple? Newton? Cool!”?

Damn damn damn damn.

  1. “Newton’s Apple” was also the name of a children’s science show on PBS, back in the day. I never saw it, being on the wrong continent and all, but by reputation it was rather good. Won lots of awards, that sort of thing.

    Curious.

  2. I believe there used to be dedicated Newton stores, once upon a time. If I’m not making this up, I think there was even one in this town.
