I forget the name of the outfit, but a company is now shipping Mac laptops.
They are apparently custom-configured, so you can get an SE brain with a
40 Meg hard drive, or whatever mix-and-match of features you want.  Look
in the "Late Breaking News" section at the beginning of the June MacWorld
for further details.  By the way, they ain't cheap (circa $4500 for a basic
model).
