As you will read, having seen and used one has changed his opinion somewhat! ========================================================================== Greg: Would certainly oblige if I'm around: for your interest, we have ordered FOUR units, a parallel interface and one memory pack for our branch -- works out that four people now have portable PC ability for about 1/3 the price of a laptop and goodness knows how much saving in space! Croombe PS That's FOUR units for 1/3 the price of ONE laptop! PPS I like the little unit: so does everyone else to whom I've shown it -- Thang Le (who's in our branch 1/2 time) brought one over yesterday so I was showing it off to PC users and got the enthusiasm I expected! There are some dandy features packed into that litle case -- if it was'n't for budgetary restraints at home right now, I'd buy one for myself!
