Notice that no-one has yet opened the bidding, and the $501 price is a "buy it
now" price. I doubt seriously that it will sell, but with eBay you never know.
I'm sure it's a nice Newton, but IMO for that price it should include nearly
every software package ever made, and a stack of accessory hardware and
storage cards, to boot.
On the subject of the blue backlight, since blue is a longer wavelength than
green, wouldn't the contrast be poorer than with the standard backlight? This
certainly holds true for standard lights (for proof, try to read a blue
backlit sign at night -- it can be very difficult to discern the letters) but
I wonder if it's also true for the Newton. Any thoughts??
