This sounds a lot like what the Newton 130 with the greenish
"indiglow" tint backlit screen looks like. I hope the OG screen comes
close. Since you didn't mention the screen size, I presume the screen
size hasn't changed? :-(

I hope it is possible to password protect the Quicken files like on the
200LX. After installing Quicken on my OG 100 SRAM, I find it difficult to
casually
give it to a friend to try out since he could easily view my personal
financial
info. The option was to remove the SRAM card before handing it over (which
is
a PITA and seems like I am hiding something and don't trust the friend).
With Quicken in ROM now, this would be difficult to do :-(

Still only 1MB and no AC :-(

Hmm.

Thanks for posting this info on the OGO 120.
