Unless you need to use 'em simultaneously, I'd say the best thing to do
is to keep everything you can on a memory card and just swap that between
the two. There are some things that have to go in internal memory, but
most everything will work on a card.
I tend to keep most everything but the "stock" software that comes with
'em (and even most of that) on the memory card. That way if my 2100
dies, I can just pull the card and stick it in my Upgraded 2000, or maybe
even my 130. Anything that works better or requires it be in internal
memory, I do so (usually just beam it from one to the other.)
You do need to have a 5v/5v card though, since the eMate will only write
to those (see my shameless plug elsewhere on this list today for Paul
Brahams 6MB cards; they are 5v/5v, if you don't have one).
