How is the Casio BOSS and/or Wizard OZ-8x00 better than an atari portfolio? Same price range, similar displays and keyboards, right? Is it just a preference of firmware calendar/phonebooks vs. MSDOS? The display on the Portfolio seems thoroughly readable. I guess the atari is bigger, yes? Would the size difference (whatever it is) make much difference in how often you carry it? -- B< Brian Kahn blk@security.mitre.org "may the farce be with you"
