:I just attended a hands-on demo of the Mac Portable and I was really impressed.
:Aside from the weight (18 lbs. w/40 mb HD & 1mb RAM), and the cost ($6500) it
:looks like the best engineered laptop I've seen.

:Commodore has to figure out how to sell the desktop first. I would prefer they
:put the $$$$ into R&D + Advertising than into a portable. Remember the SX-64 ?

Yes.  They are still hot items in some areas.   They can be sold for as much 
as $400-500 in some cases.  Except for the kludgy screen, the SX-64 was
a nice box.  We've used it a number of times on remote broadcasts where we
need studio-control room communication.
