>Get a Newton 2100... They cost about the same US 400, and with lithium >batteries, they should last almost the 12 hours. And with plenty of software >ripe for downloading, it would provide some entertainment (I have heard that >they can be used as mp3 players, but I have not yet confirmed this)... And, >IMO, would be a better investment than a lot of batteries. :-) I had a Newton 2000 for about a year right after it came out, and found that it didn't really fit my needs at all. It was trying to be a PDA and a Laptop, and failed at doing both. Not small enough to fit in a pocket, but too underpowered to function as a laptop. Yes, the games were good, but I need to get other things done too. I ended up selling the Newt2k and getting a used PowerBook Duo 230, and the Duo was so much more useful. Now if Apple had put the speed of the 2000 into a 130 form factor, they would have cleaned up in the PDA market. And then I got a 280c, then a 2300, and now a 2400 ...... >Hey, I am even willing to trade my MP 2000 for your PB 2400 :-) Are you joking?
