Let me add my voice to the 2100 list. :-) The difference between the two is
like moving from a Macintosh SE to a G3... OK, so maybe not quite that big,
but it is big, and the capability you get from the 2100 is just so vastly
greater... For the small difference in price, you get more than your money's
worth. Remember, the 130 brand new cost about $600, but the 2100 brand new
cost about $999, which, IMO, ought to say something. :-) Really, get the
2100. You won't regret it.
