Yup, since I have many(12+) and mostly MP2K's are now under US$300.00. :-)
BTW, there are software that you can 'browse' your Newton stuff on
desktop/laptop. I don't use or remember which ones(newtdump?) but others
on this list should be able to give more info.

Hmmm, don't remember how to do this or if it can be done. The 'safest'
usable format is print a hardcopy of what you really need to have, sorry
but can't figure another way, shows how independant of desktop/laptop I've
become. Even bought a digitalcam based on it's use to the Newt(s). :-o

Has Silverware suggested a way?...workaround? I really like 'MI' but it
was too big for my overloaded AMP21K. :-o
Dateman was good but too inflexable. :-(
Actionnames was fun but 'buggy' and wouldn't play nice with other stuff.

Nowadays I just tap alot...tap...tap...tap, but I do use little goodies,
'PIMple', Avi's BD for BD(birthdays), Dateview, Scrollbuttons, OneTap(yeah
right), and Multischeduler.
The only large app. I use is Leverage for contact info., lets me resize and
move data on the fly. I make changes to built-in Names, delete previous
Lev. database, import new updated Lev. database, again just a few 'taps'.
;-) No bloated OS to depend
"going mobile". :-D
