It's worth every penny. Try to write one paragraph of text on your 130, then
write the same text on your 2000. Amazing, isn't it? Well, going from a 2000
to a 2100 might not be as dramatic as going from a 130 to a 2000, but close.
It's amazing all the things you can do on a 2100, without ever having the
message "Newton doesn't have enough memory to do this. Restarting might
help" (or whatever)...

The best (and still supported) browser is Newtscape. However, it's interface
is a little bit complex at first. A lot of people still prefer NetHopper,
although it's much less capable than Newtscape. The only (limited) IMAP
email client is SimpleMail. It can only synchronize your Inbox, not any
other folders you might have created in your account.

Paul had to slow down a bit because he had final exams at the university.
After he has a (well deserved) short vacation or break, I assume he will
resume its work and finish the driver.

There is no more supply or source for the interconnect plug.
