[NTLK] Free MP120/MP130 touchscreens

[NewtonTalk]

Hi gang,

until further notice I'll be giving away brand spanking new MP120/MP130 touchscreens
for the cost of shipping. I think they can also be used in MP110s, but can't confirm
this since I've never done it. If you can shed any light on this, it would be nice if
you could chime in.

Please be aware that as opposed to original MP130 touchscreens, those for the MP120
do not have an antireflective coating. Personally I consider this a benefit rather
than a drawback since the contrast is better.

Please be also aware that this is the English version. They'll work perfectly well in
German Newtons, but you'll have to acquaint yourself with four new silkscreen buttons:

Kartei -> Names
Termine -> Dates
Storno -> Undo
Suchen -> Find

Pictures can be found here:

You'll get up to two units for the cost of shipping, which will only be what I pay for stamps.
This depends on where on this planet you live. Within Germany it'll be EUR 2.70 or two chocolate
bars (hazelnut preferred). If you live elsewhere, please get in touch off-list for
a shipping quote.

In case you belong to this rare species of people who don't want anything for free, why
not donate a buck or two to

58paypal26 at newtontalk22.net

after you've removed the six numbers. Yes, I know I'm paranoid. Your donation will help keep
this list alive. This wonderful list that just enabled you to fix your Newton very
cost-effectively. Please contact me off-list if you're interested.

PS At this point it might make sense to point out that I will start appearing in your
nightmares if ever I see one of these touchscreens end up on eBay.

PPS The unanimous opinion of all people in whose nightmares I'm currently appearing is
that having to deal with Nightmare-Frank night after night is something that should be
avoided at all cost. Those that haven't committed suicide yet wake up every morning
feeling absolutely whacked, deeply regretting their rushed decision to put it up.
