Having recently purchased my first newton (a $189 2100) from JK Sales, I
couldn't agree more. The case is in near perfect condition with only some
minor wear on the corners and a couple of small scuffs on the back. The
screen is nearly flawless with only a slight 1cm scratch that I seriously
doubt anyone other than the most neurotic techno-perfectionist (like me)
would ever even notice. So far, it's been flawless functionally. a great
value IMO.
Terrific customer service too. UPS tried to lose my package and John May
tracked it down and made it right.
I just tried out the "Build your own 2100" option from them as well to
purchase a backup unit.
