Hello everyone. Money's starting to get tight, so much as I don't want to=
do it, I have to get rid of my original MP2100.
This unit was bought as a "new" unit from GEMEnterprises a couple months=
ago (one of their $500 ones). It hasn't been used very much; it was too=
big to easily carry around with me, and as such, cosmetically is still in=
perfect condition. The screen is perfect, as is the case. All clips,=
slots, and doors are present and functional. The backlight is beautiful=
and very bright. The only problem is a case of jaggies in the lower right=
hand area, caused by a mishap with a screen protector is my=
guess...perhaps I forced dust down inside the machine. The jaggies seem=
to be against the lower right side of the screen in an area of perhaps a=
square half-inch, and I have yet to see them really affect my use of the=
Newton.
Included with the Newton would be the AC adaptor, working rechargable=
battery pack, AA battery cage, a serial interconnect dongle (used,=
excellent shape, in original packaging!), Newton 8-pin serial to PC 9-pin=
cable, two original aluminum "titanium" styli (both very slightly used,=
but in perfect shape...one is in original packaging!), one green eMate=
stylus (locks properly in the stylus slot of the 2100), one black heavy=
metal stylus with orange tip (also locks into the Newton's stylus slot, I=
think these were made by PDA Panache?), one very cheap bendy plastic=
ribbed replacement eMate stylus (also locks in 2100's slot), Pretec 32mb=
storage card, unknown brand 8mb storage card, Hayes Optima 33.6 X-jack=
modem, two original Newton plastic PCMCIA slot protectors, a slightly=
beat-up slide-in case (you can use the Newton in this case, has a hole for=
the screen, speaker, power switch, and one PCMCIA card, has loops for a=
shoulder strap),and a leather portfolio case in absolutely perfect=
condition (you know the kind, has the elastic to grip to the Newton's=
door, a flap covering 4 PCMCIA card slots, a clear ID window, original=
Apple Newton brand). I will also toss in all the software CDs I have,=
original documentation, original Newton 2100 CD (not a burned copy), and I=
will ship it in the original Apple Newton box (which will be packed inside=
another box of course).
(UPDATE: I still have two or three old-style NuShields that I will include=
in the package. Plus, I have a spare back door clip that I will toss in.=
It was given to me for free, so I wouldn't feel right selling it=
separately.)
All in all, this is a great addition to your current collection or if=
you're just a new user wanting to get into the world that is Newton. As=
stated earlier, it's in as perfect shape as they get, with the minor issue=
of the slight jaggies, which I've heard people have had good luck with=
using cleaner pens on the flex display cable.
I intend to stay on this list, as I will be buying another Newton when I=
have the money to spare. So I will continue to occasionally contribute the=
rare e-mail to a choice discussion. :)
If there's no interest here this time around either, it'll have to go to=
E-bay like my last Newton, which I really don't want to do. Please e-mail=
me off-list and without the [NTLK] in the subject, as I'd like to keep the=
replies separate from my NewtonTalk messages. I'm open to serious offers,=
because I don't know what I'll get for the package with the slight jaggies=
problem. Thanks very much for your interest!
