Yes, that was the one. I assumed that the price wouldn't go too high
thanks to the mention of the error. I was wondering if this was a
problem that did not need to be fixed. I'd love to have a 2100, even
if it had a couple of problems. I really like the thought of
backlighting and two PCMCIA slots. Not to mention that soft button
bar, or IrDA and etherenet support. Maybe my 120 will have to do for
now.
