If you want to do anything on the Internet, I would strongly consider that
you save a little bit more money and get the 2100. The 130 will let you get
your email from the Internet but only through a dialup connection, as it
doesn't support any Ethernet card. Second, the speed. The 2100 is about 10
times as fast as the 130.
