Count me in!  I got together a group of us and we bought several systems.
My 1101 came in Friday, about 3 days after the disk combo.  I was up until
0230 playing with it.  Although GRiDOS is overly menu driven, it makes the
need for the documentation minimal.  I have the bubble memory loaded with
the operating system, the VT100 emulator, the word processor, several
VT100 control files and still have 82Kb left (in the bubble).  The 2101 disk
combo is a tad too heavy to lug on trips, but with built-in modem works
fine (Hayes compat) and I have been able to dump ascii file to my Unix
system w/o problems.  Have not tried it yet under MS-DOS.

Count me in on the mailing list.  I will get it to those in my group who 
may not be able to get it directly.
