	The portable Atari isn't really a portable...it doesn't have the
ability to run without being plugged in.  No batteries.  There was supposed
to be a way to run it off a bunch of d-cells, but that was so cumbersome that
the idea was dropped.  

I think there is a simple reason for the absence of a portable Amiga..no
perceived market.  To small a base.
