[NTLK] messagepad 3D models?

[Charles Mangin]

funny. i have had an inclination to try and put a 2100's guts into a laptop/emate form factor - i love the emate, but prefer the added speed and capacity of the 2x00.

in any event, being able to print a replacement shell for the messagepad in stainless steel would be totally worth the effort to scan.
