Tim:
Given the costs of machines at present, I would advise you to get the
most Newton that you can afford. I have used an OMP, a 130, a 2000, and
a 2100. The difference between the 2000 and the 130 was remarkable. And
the difference in Internal use due to the size of the internal heap on
the 2100 was a great advantage over the 2000. So ... if you can ... I
would say buy a 2100 or an upgraded 2000 (an upgraded 2000 is
essentially the same machine, just a little different look on the case).
