I've got a house full of collector's items. Want an Enterprise 128? I
bet that's a hell of a lot rarer than a Newton ;) - and I just posted a
link to my Apple //c LCD panel for Greg's benefit.

That's very true. However, the 2000 is common as anything. A Notephone
- that's rare. A Seahorse or whatever those specialised Newtons were
called. I've never seen a boxed eMate.

The thing I've noticed with Newtons is that people use them. A lot. A
functional Newton 2100 is worth more than a boxed 2000 IMO.
