eMate for $20!

So, about a week and a half to two weeks ago, someone on eBay had a boat load of eMates. If I recall correctly, there were 7 original, 3 moded to accept AAs, 1 lot of 2, and 1 lot of 5. He said all worked and came with a power adapter. The starting bid was $4.99 + $14.99 shipping. I figured, "What the heck? Might as well bid." I got it for the starting bid and just received it Saturday. After playing around with it, I liked it so much, now I want to get a MessagePad! I'm quite happy. The only problems with it are 1) the eject button for the "Card" port is missing and 2) it has some scratches and has writing on it. Not to bad though.

Wow, nice.

I love all the Newton OS devices, they are fascinating. Would love to see pics!
