Does anyone have any experience with the Outbound (formerly Wallaby)
portable?  I figure that I can configure a system with a 12 meg silicon
disk plus floppy, external modem, etc., AND spend $900 for a Mac Plus
to use for the brain transplant and STILL be within $100 of a
comparable Mac Portable.  Not to mention about two-thirds the weight
and bulk.
  
Has anyone used the Isopoint for longer than an in-store
demonstration?  Any word on real-world battery life?  Or any other
info?  Insight would be greatly appreciated.
