[NTLK] trivia Re: Before plus pic after rubberized coat off an MP2000

[William James]

 Okay, I have posted pictures of a 2000 I did over a year ago, none of them make it here? Just like the pictures I posted for an eMate battery upgrade without the silly battery holder?  I understand the limit imposed by the forum, but every 2000 or 2100 I have stripped down looks green, when it has not been completely cleaned! I have done over a dozen of them. 91%Isopropyl alcohol will completely remove all residue from the cases after soaking for at least two days. All you have to do is rinse the cases with high pressure water.

 OK, this after image makes me wonder whether those who report green plastic beneath the rubber coating have either (1) a different run of cases not made of black plastic, or (2) the chemical(s) used to remove rubber coating altered the color of the case.

All my Newton 2000Us and 2100s have nothing but black plastic showing through the many places where the rubber long since went AWOL.

via cable from low-power MacBook lacking wireless devices,
hence radiating no deadly EMR connectivity: see RadiateNot.Me;
plus powered by non-radiating coaxial DC cable from utility shed
where wall wart* EMR is indetectably far away
                          *standard Apple shielded power supply = less emissions
