How about weddings, ect... The guy doing it could bring his Amiga and do titles and credits on the spot, let the customers have more input, ect... Lots and lots of places for a portable Amiga. And it would make our user group meetings about 1000x easier if we had a portable Amiga we could use. :-) -- Ian Smith <>
