Newtonians,
The fun just keeps going. Since eBay hasn't busted me on my 1 cent/free
eMate service manual auction, I've set up a little quickie website and
linked to it from the eBay auction for newbies. Otto's suggestion, genius
that he is. The quickie site, in case you are bored is:
http://home.earthlink.net/~jvenzon/index.html
And my fight to discredit people from printing out PDF manuals and selling
them on eBay:

owTutorial=0&ed=995530298&indexURL=0&rd=1
As it stands now, I've gotten 21 emails from folks who stumbled onto the
page on eBay saying, "I had no idea, thanks." Total number of downloads: 47
on the first day. Hopefully my bandwidth will hold out until the end of the
auction!
I'm wondering if we can take this a step further, and make a sort of "pact"
that if any of us sell Newton stuff on eBay, we insert a plug for our
favorite Newton site for newbies. This old Newt, Newtontalk, whatever.
What do you folks think? eBay can't object to legit references in legit
auctions, I mean REALLY.

macho)
