Hi Jim,

Welcome to NewtonTalk :)

If your screen is blue, you have quite rare mod. Feel lucky :) If your screen is green, but you saw blue on the auction, it is mean that seller used not good light when he did photos, he used some filters, or camera didn’t catch colours properly.

About model: Check how much memory you have. If it is 1MB, than you have 2000, if it is 4MB, it is 2100. Sometimes 2000 can have 4MB too, because memory upgrade was done.

So, if you have 4MB and blue screen - this is nice. If you prefer green screen, I’m happy to swap with you :)


Best regards,
