     I  notice  that  a  number  of  US netters still think the ATW is
vapourware, it is *NOT* I have seen many working machines. The ATW  is
very  powerfull  with  great  graphics but is of as expected expencive
(exact cost eludes me.)

     On  to  another  subject  the  Stacy. A few people have asked for
comments on the this machine. Firstly the back lit screen is  easy  to
read although the screen update times are a little slow, and compaires
well  with  the very expencive apple mac protable. Secondly on a lower
note it is reported that the battery life is short...  VERY  short  on
hard  drive  modles.  ST  world  have  just  done a full review if you
require more details.
