Andrew -
I understand whole heartedly but consider this: a MP2000 (unupgraded) has
more Heap than your 120 and more storage (probably) ... and is around
$220... and eMate is about $300... that's not too terribly bad. You can get
a 2000 and have the 120 as a backup and maby get an eMate or another 2000 as
a backup. This is what I am doing...backing up to a data card an eMate can
read in the event my 2000 dies and I need a temp. Plus if it's broken it's a
flat $184 to get it fixed... just consider it I've used every MP OMP-2100
and live the upgraded 2000 and 2100 and orig 2000 and soon the eMate... the
130 was a lot nicer (can get one for about $80) than the 120 cause of the
backlight.
