Phew! Never mind. I found one on Amazon for $40. Thanks anyway. Looking forward to using this.

Shoot! I’m late to the party and now I can’t find a NEO to buy. I looked on Ebay, but can’t find any there. Help! I don’t want a fancy Hemingwrite, I just want a cheap NEO. HELP!

In reply to Tom Morrisey. Yes, although I was very sad to hear they had been discontinued.... :-(

One more plus: the Neo is now dirt-cheap. Rennaisance Learning (the company marketing them) has discontinued production, and schools (the primary market for the device) are unloading their inventories on eBay at bargain prices … circa $50, US, with shipping included. I have written five books using Neo as my first-draft device, so I have a Neo that I write on and a second Neo safely stored with its batteries removed (as a backup, just in case my primary device ever bites the dust).
