[NTLK] How many Newtons were sold?

[Leo Titus LeBron V]

yeah, 200k seems low, too low for the amount that are for sale 
constantly. I would like to find some hard numbers myself. Seems the 
eMate at least was one of the more popular models, but that does not 
surprise me. They were bought by the hundreds or thousands for school 
districts everywhere. Though unfortunately not mine :( We got iMacs 
instead in 98.
