Does anyone know how this could work. It was however rather expensive at about NZ$1200 (the machine at the time cost $1650) funny thing is i only saw the add twice. It mentioned no brand name and gave no details. Anyone heard of this device. I no longer own the PPC but I agree for the money it was/is an excellent portable. I loved that full size keyboard, but the display was almost totally unacceptable. Andrew Chambers Computer Consultant University of Waikato New Zealand
