Hi Dave,
I am a Newton Newbie (2 months), I own a 2100 and a 130. In my opinion
the 130 is very good, but the 2100 is much better in so many ways, that
you may find that the 130 becomes limiting once your passion for the
Newton and what it can do, grows.
J&K have a good reputation by all accounts but can be very expensive in
my opinion. Get your self on eBay and pick up a 2100, it kicks ass, I
love my 2100. And a 2100 isn't really any bigger than a 130 just a bit
wider, and you get more memory, more speed, more screen real estate,
more everything, and it can use Ethernet which I think is a very big
deal.
Hope this is of help,
Kindest regards
