----------
One wonders if Gavilan was ever alive. They made a big splash in
the 1983 COMDEX with their portable but it was obsolete before
they could get it into production. They are believed to be 
responsible for the invention of the term "Vaporware".

Put it in your attic and your grandkids may find it a useful
collectors item.
