Hooah! – looks like I’ve got meself a [Newton MessagePad 2000](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5822269546&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) by way of [eBay](http://www.ebay.com):
Looks to be a pretty fine deal, at $110, I’ll be getting the Newton itself, the accompanying keyboard, 2 carring cases (doubt I’ll use those), 3 different power adapters (don’t know how that happened) as well as an extra battery and stylus (both new in box).
It’s from eBay, so as usual it’s a gamble, but today [I’m feeling lucky](http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/09/googlebombing-failure.html).
Congrats to you…I’ve been a Newt user for about 4 years now. I love it to pieces and am on my second 2k based Newt as my old one was falling apart at the seams. My new one is in considerably better shape.

I don’t know anyone personally that uses a newton as a primary pda device. I kind of like the name newton though, since it’s so closely related to my screenname -> newtonick.
The newton is a pretty geeky thing to buy from ebay, but that is what makes it so coool.
