If you got a Newton with a rechargable battery pack, you'd need an AC adapter
to charge it, of course. Any Newton adapter will work with any model of Newton.
Your 4MB Internal would certainly be enough for web browsing and e-mail, as
long as you're not going to be storing e-mails for a long period of time.
Since you mention you're running Windows, you could use NewtDump to export
your old messages to Windows if you need to save any of them:

You can't beam the drivers from a 120, because the drivers will refuse to
install on a 120 (they require OS 2.1).
I don't know what a Kanga PowerBook is... is that a Mac? Codename or something?
