I don't know what started this, I was selling an emate which was
basically brand new to someone on the list. When I purchased it last
year from NewtonOZ, they were supposed to be emates that apple were
clearing off so I purchased 2, one for a friend. He didn't want it and I
never bothered to try and sell it till now.

Anyway it came with a cd-r of the software. I didn't question it because
I thought, hey, I have a 2100 and the cd had everything I needed. That's
all, I didn't think twice about it. I don't need to read email about
this without someone asking first.

I'm extremely happy with my newt and so is a close friend of mine, I
could save myself quite a few emails a day if I got off this list.
Actually only about half of the mails if lucky seem to be related to the
newt these days.

I've had my say and am disappointed by this reaction with being asked
first about it off the list. It's almost rude to assume and lucky I
don't have a business, I'm just one of those really happy newton users
who would like a replacement soon, the gaffer tape is just hanging in
there but I still get oohs and ahhs when I use it. It has my life in it.
