What is the main difference besides the backlight from a Newton 120 to a Newton 130?

I *think* the 120 either came with OS 1.3 (early) or 2.0 (later ones), whereas the 130 always came with OS 2.0.

As you may know, 2.0 is where the Newton started getting good...

Thanks guys. I was trying to figure out if I should spend the extra dough on a 130 on eBay or not.

I am wondering if the extra cash, and I mean alot of it, would be worthwhile for the 130.... hmmmmm *scratches chin*

The 130 also has backlighting. Get the 130 it alows you to do actual internet and the backlighting kicks ass.
