Welcome from Logansport, Indiana!
I believe there are a few others from the Hoosier state on here as
well. I'm a relative newbie to the wonderful world of the Newt too.
Started out playing with a nasty looking silver-painted 120, but was
quickly hooked and moved up to an upgrade 2100 from eBay. I know
exactly what you mean about being addicted to eBay. I spend wayyy too
much there too!
Someday, I hope we can organize a NUG here in Indiana.
