I don't have a Portfolio myself, but have played with one for a while and was
quite impressed.  The best buy I have seen is from J&R Music World in New York.
They sell the Portfolio for a mere $300, and a parallel port for $40!  But don't
take my word on it, I don't work for them, Call them up at 1-800-221-8180 and
find out waht the scoop is for yourself.  They have a great selection of 
computers and hardware/software.  They also sell the BOSS and others real cheap.
  If I wasn't a starving student I would order me up one of thoes puppies, and
THEN find a use for it, or let a use grow all on its own.
