My 5400/180 was my first conquest. Love it. I hope to up the RAM a bit one day as it's still on 32MB.
It came with a remote as well.
I wonder if this remote would work with a Performa 5215, as mine is equipped with an infrared sensor (as I am sure all of the 5200-series computers are).
I know how you feel. Newton eMates are everywhere on eBay US yet rarely show up here in Australia.
Well, I've already got my eMate, and it's a pleasure to use during lectures.
Then I think I will have to add an ethernet card.
You should. A dial-up modem is completely useless nowadays (as I have experienced with my 5215) & I am sure you could get high-speed Internet access on your 5400 (the requirements, from what I hear, are not too great. A friend of mine has an old Thinkpad hooked up to their router, and he's running Win 98, so anything is possible).
