It took me six months to find one to buy! They were only sold from a
small storefront in New York, with very little advertising. I probably
need a new set of ni-cads, and the case needs some TLC: someone before
I got it had been prying at the trim. There's dust behind the plastic
that protects the LCD as well. I know that the outfit that designed
them for the manufacturer will do repair work, but they want you to use
registered mail to send it and are expecting it to be shipped to them
from inside the U.K. I could always give up on it and get one of their
"CyKey" keyboards, but I refuse to get a keyboard for my Newton that
costs more than the computer and all it's accessories did when I bought
it... Grumble, grumble, grumble.
