What Dave's not telling you is that it was my brother who had the
next table over who ended up getting the 2100 for $30. So we spent
most of the morning wiping up all of Dave's crocodile tears :) JUST
KIDDING! Anyway, I'm still trying to figure our how that
"non-working" Newton went from $20 to $30 after Dave looked at it.
Even at $30 it was a crazy deal, like Dave said there was a real
Newton case, keyboard, modem card, an extra stylus, and a bunch of
software and manuals. It'll probably be up on eBay at some point
since my brother is a known Palm defector.
It looks like I missed meeting Sean by about 20 seconds, drat.
That's what I get for taking a break to wander the room.
