     For the past year or so I have kept hearing about a machine
nicknamed the "Little menace" (All names have been changed to 
protect the guilty.)  It is supposed to be a 3000 basically inside
a 500's case, minus slots and other official expansion options.  
If/when they release such a machine, especially if it is anytime
soon for a price of under $1000, I would be ecstatic.  This
"rumor" is a sticking point between me and an otherwise incredibly
reliable source.  If anyone has any further info on the
"Little menace" go ahead and email it to me rather than post
an on-going series of rumors.  I am interested in hearing more 
about it.
