I'd say 62 Aud is a nice price, that's about 30 USD and 20 UKP for the rest of you.It will remain to be seen how much you will actually use it, if you use it a lot it's a bargain. If you don't it's still a nice collectors item at that price. --------

With the MP120 model, value depends on which ROM it has. 1.3 ROM was useless (for me), but the 2.0 ROM is much better.
Hold out for a 130, 2000, or 2100 model.

Whilst the 2000 and 2100 are better they are significantly more expensive and you can buy something like a handspring visor or a hood sony clie for the same price. The 130 probably is worth the little extra though.However 70 Aud isn't that much money, it'd probably go for double that in the UK. --------

Ahh well, auction is over and I am a proud new owner of a MP 120. It has 2.0 ROM also. I mainly got the 120 due to the fact it was there, I hadnt rally planned to get one, just searched ebay for the hell of it.Im rather pleased

As far as prices go in Australia, it was a good deal.
Not as good as the MP130 I managed to get for $50, though. :D~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

IIRC, you can plug it into the 180c with a standard Mac serial cable. Not sure though...i've never even SEEN a Newt... -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5
