The new (October) issue of MacUser lists an interesting laptop
alternative to Apple's forthcoming machine: take one Atari Stacy (ST
laptop) with 1 Meg of RAM, floppy drive and 20 Meg Hard drive
($1995), add the Spectre GCR by Gadgets by Small, who have been
making STs into Macs for a couple of years, ($299.95).  Stir to a
boil with Mac Plus ROMs (sorry, Apple), available for about $125,
and for something under $2500 you have a laptop Mac with trackball
that weighs 15 lbs.

So it ain't exactly kosher; it is cheap, though.
