There is a good blurb on the Gridpad in the Jan90 PC Laptop magazine. The
list price is $2370.00 and it states that the unit has a plug for an external
keyboard.
I have a vision of velcroing this thing to the wall of my cubical and having
just a keyboard on my desk. When away from the desk this wouldn't be too
conveinient but you'd probably want the GridPad for customized applications
anyway.
Now if they had a touch-screen model....
