Please share how you got it. What vendor did you buy from. I'm interested!

Thanks,

Bill

Subject: [NTLK] eMates are the coolest Newt ever!

Hi Listers,

I just got an eMate in the mail today in pretty good condition. Nice hinge
action. Very little scuffs and sticker residue. At first the battery was
deader than a doornail, but eventually it would take a charge and seems to
hold it when needed. I crammed Newton Internet Enabler, Courier, and teh
Wavelan and 3Com drivers on there. There's about 700k worth of storage left
on the emate after the requisite NIE packages were installed. It is DOG
SLOW on the internet! I have not put Simple Mail on there yet. I suspect
it will handle basic email better than web access.

Questions:
Should I do the hinge fix even though there is no trouble at this time?
If I go for a RAM upgrade, will things go a little faster for me on the
emate overall?

I love this Newt! I can't wait to show my middle school students!
