Traumwind - decisions, decisions...

... are always hard to come by. And even harder it is, if once you decided against a new toy the price tag drops dramatically.
So now I'm in for a Newton 130 w/ external keyboard for 200,-DM
Only the 130 didn't really appear to be such a good fit for me. Display contrast is rather poor (by my standards - I couldn't easily read it in the train w/ backlight) and the handwriting recognition is ok but rather slow I can't really imagine doing any fast writing on this thing.

So now it's basically a do-I-need-another-expensive-toy kind of decision.
