I think I need to get some e-Mates?!?!

I have a 4 1/2 and a 3 year old I have to introduce to cutting edge
computing...

Woody, any thoughts?

Is where I got mine, and while it was in used it was barely used. :)
'Course I paid $155 and picked up a DB9 serial dongle with it.

I also found a working MP2000 at the Goodwill Computer Thrift store last
week. It was working and in relatively good condition, but the cover latch
does stick a bit. It had no battery pack but it did have the AA cage and a
4MB flash card too. Someone had factory reset the software, though--and
some wag had stuck a couple of those old metal "Intel Inside" stickers on
it.

And I only paid $30 for it. :) Heck, the battery cage is worth that much.
I haven't decided if I'm going to sell it or keep it as backup.

Next time I went back (to get the Netgear MA401 [$20] that cause me such
temporary frustration and a USR 33.6 d/f/v modem [$4]) they had an MP130 and
*seven* eMates. All for $30 each. I still might snag me an eMate just on
general principles...
