Konstantin,
I'm guessing these are already gone, but just in case they aren't, I'd love
to buy one. I don't know how this works. Do I bid on one, and then you
pick, or what?
I live near Oxford, UK, and it even would be easy to pick it up.
As for loving the Newton, all I can say is that the reason I want to buy the
2100 (or the upgraded 2000) is that I already have a 2100 that I got last
August. I am enamoured with it and I can't imagine ever being without one
again. I want to be able to have one I can dedicate to work (my work makes
me subject to the Data Protection Act) and another I can dedicate to my
hobbies and other non-work use, so I can be using a Newton as much as
possible.
Anyway, sorry if this is an ignorant letter. I just wasn't sure how I
should proceed from here.
TIA.
Shalom.
Christian
