Mark,
Get the 130, it is worth the extra money.
The 120 OS 2 still is hampered by too little heap space that is why Qualcom
specifically says it will not support 120 OS 2 with their Eudora 1.1 for
Newt. If you plan on checking your email you will want the extra memory to
run programs the 130 offers.
I wondered the same thing too, but I do not regret getting my 130. It is A
LOT more functional than a 120 with OS 2.
I have been using 1.x Machines before, now I do not know what I was doing.
The backlight is a godsend.
