BTW - These backup batteries are available at almost every store that =
carries button batteries (Wal*Mart, OfficeMax, drug stores, ..., etc.).
Very common.
OfficeMax has a two cell pack at a good price.

Alex,
I had the same thing with the MP130 I had, and easily found a battery at =
a
local everything-under-one-roof store, in the camera department. Your =
old
backup battery is probably a Duracell, with the number stamped on it. =
It's
very easy to replace.
I too was surprised about the green hue of the Newton!
