Show me where in Canada you've seen Newton MP110's go for $175. The only
place that I have seen Newton MP110's go for those kind of prices are in
comp.sys.newton.misc, with all prices in US$. So, at an exchange rate of
1.38 (an aproimate for the current exchange rate) that would mean a Newton
MP110 would go for somewhere in the $240 range.

Consider that you can easily purchase a 16Mb SIMM for under $300 in US$,
and in Canada, that will run you from anywhere under $400 used to over
$600, (but only if you are really studpid). I think that the trade is
reasonable and fair (considering that I paid over $CAN900 a 1 1/2 years
ago, which would be in the same neighborhood as a 16Mb SIMM back then).
