The Z88 by Cambridge Computers is advertised as a no frills
Mac-compatable Laptop. I have used one and it is true that text
files can be passed back and forth, but I wonder about the durability
of this light-weight, totally RAM based machine.

Are there any users out there who have any opinions about
the Z88 in terms of its usefulness, operation, system software,
etc. I would be particularly interested in any know bugs or
other drawbacks. It seems that for the money it is a reasonable
little machine for word processing away from the mac.
