Yeah...well just remember.. I was the first guy here to buy a MP900, and I paid nearly $1000 for it...so $100 for an MP900 is a great deal
And I still have it...though I haven't turned it on in years. Only handheld I still own.
Really do miss my 790 though...my all time favorite.
Yeah, I remember 11 years ago taking my bike
(I didn't know how to drive yet
) to meet someone from Craigslist to get my original 790. Definitely a sweet PC. I very much missed it, and though I most likely overpaid, I definitely feel it was worth it.
The 700 intrigues me because of the long battery life - on AA batteries! I'm excited to give that one a try! I found the RAM upgrade on eBay, I think I'm going to grab that too assuming mine didn't come with it by default. I assume the 750C 2.11 ROM won't work in the 700 right? I just wish I could have at least CE 2.11 on the 700, but for only typing, it should be perfect.

Yeah, the prices these days on eBay are so high... I wonder if it's due to "retro computing" being popular.
I'd normally spend somewhere from $50.00 to $75.00 thinking in USD based terms, but like 5000 JPY to 7500 JPY in JPY based terms. (The USD-JPY is like 135 JPY to 1 USD these days so, yeah)
Yeah, I think $75-$100 USD is my cap. I recently found an old PowerMac G4 Mirror Drive Door model for $40 USD that was worth about $170, but I fell in love with the design of the computer that I couldn't part with it! The Sigmarions definitely look cool and unique for sure, but NEC has been my heart/soul
