My department wants to get some portable computers like the Radio Shack
Model 100, Olivetti M-10, or NEC Whatever.
We don't want a CPM machine with 50 pounds of manuals, we just
want to spend ~ $1000 for a machine that will do mail, simple text editing,
and maybe spreadsheet work.

Since AT&T owns 25% of Olivetti, we'd prefer the
Olivetti if we can find out how to order one (our usually-reliable
micro-computer vendors denied it existed, or "don't sell typewriters", or
whatever.)  So...

- How much memory can it have?
- What software is built-in?  What's optional?  What's user-written but good?
- Is a 1200 baud internal modem available, or only 300?
- What are the part numbers to order everything?

Also, is Olivetti coming out with a fancier model, like Tandy did with the
Radio Shack Model 200?
