Just a few. ;-)
Since Sharp/Apple won't make anymore, I have to have at least one backup
unit for each in use, plus the backups for the eMates, therefore I have
eight total.
The other reason to have more than 'one' is that people who have never used
or seen a Newt.2.1 like the Newt.2.1 *but* don't like to buy a 'dead
platform' and/or 'it's too big'. At least when a LaNUG member needs a
replacement or when the 'hoster' saves enough dimes and nickels he'll buy
one of my Newts., he has a 120 2.0(from me) but really needs a 21K.
BTW, four of my Newts. are from sellers who were going to going to 'dump'
theirs.
I told and showed them what a Newt. can do but it was their decision. I
have convinced seven others to keep and really use their Newts., so I
could've had '15' MP21K's, now that would be hoarding.
BTW, it took you five years??? After she saw that the Newt. would 'listen'
to her I thought it would only take one sentence. :-D
