I saw a brief report on this computer about 6 months ago in Mini-Micro
Systems, and Grid has been running really dumb ads in the WSJ for the
thing for 1 or 2 months now.

It appears to be a quality portable designed for the accounting executive
type.  That means it costs a lot (>$8K min. config.) and you shouldn't
expect software support other than basic Visicalc type stuff.  It's probably
aimed at too small a market to encourage large scale software/hardware
development.

I'd like to hear what others think.  Anybody see one yet?
