No, I think (hope) he just doesn't know any better ... but then again,
he does seem to sell a lot of Newton stuff, so .... ???

I see similar things with the Ricochet modems, where the sellers will
sell the orignal ("Brick") Ricochet modems, saying they will work with
the soon-to-be-reactivated Ricochet network (http://www.ricochet.net),
but they won't: you need one of the GS models (in case anyone is
wondering).

Okay, back in the hole for me ....

P.S.:

It will be interesting to see how much this one sells for though ...
