   I've had direct dealings with Atari on the feasability on this.  The basic
feeling is it's a very good idea, get a STacy w/ GCR for a portable Mac.  The
concern most people have with this idea is the lack of an AppleTalk interface.
this limits it's usefullness to a heavily-networked environment.
   It doesn't diminish the exciting prospects of this idea however.  I spoke
at length with the folks there, they said they hadn't really thought about it.
(Find that hard to believe.)  They are missing out on a great opportunity to
get some of the brightest minds interested in their machines by not offering
mass educational discounts (quantity one) like Apple and IBM (just started
offering quantity one discounts recently I think).
