I think a few of us Aussies will be in eMate love by early next week, LCGuy
Hoping that my (sight unseen) unit will be in similar condition to yours. Like you, I never really dabbled in Newton back in the day, and I'm hoping to give it a shot. Have a few PCMCIA cards I've held onto that should hopefully suit the eMate. Also have a Newton 2100 and Newton H1000/OMP devices - I love PDAs/small factor computers, and seeing what can be done with them.
I also downloaded the "Newton Museum" torrent which purported to have a lot of software - some commercial - my advice, don't bother. It's a bit of a mess of stuff and nothing you can't really obtain off UNNA or other newton software webrings.
