[NTLK] MP2000 & 2 eMates up for grabs

[Rod Lavington]

Hi Doug,

How much were you thinking of a donation?  I've been searching high and low
for a 2000/2100 to get back into Newtons, plus I have two little ones who
would benefit from using the emates.  Plus I'm in scorching hot Perth!!

Cheers

Rod
