Jim, I love all my newts (130,2100 and Emate) and the idea to keep various
items in the community when we loose interest is a great idea! I did buy the
emate memory upgrade off ebay, because that was the way I could find one. It
was pricey, but now consider this in the community ;) I may have some items
that I no longer use to get rid off. I will post to list when I gather my
items and consider the prices reasonable :)
Cheers,
Mark
