Wow, I remember this. My Dad won a Apple Newton MessagePad 100 and I loved using it as a kid to draw. While I appreciated the ability to write notes, I found having to enter letters one using the special character input was too much friction for regular use. You basically had to learn some of your ABCs when writing letter by letter. Sadly the device was not really used by either my Dad or I because it was too much hassle to relearn how to write.
The Newton had an absolutely brilliant user interface, but its hardware let it down. I wish we had a device similar to the smaller Remarkable tablet, running something like NewtonOS.
(Related: Columbo's Mystery Capers is an amazing and hilarious game from one of the Zork devs that has never been dumped and doesn't exist on any other platform. I hope someone will figure out how to get it off an actual Newton and get it to run on Einstein.)
Rather miss the notepad-central-UI --- I'd take more notes on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ if it had a similar facility for writing and scheduling and so forth.

I hope sometime this can be added to Infite Mac https://infinitemac.org/
