Does anybody out there have one, and/or are there any opinions? Mostly I'd use it for toteing around the house to enter data about records, cassettes, videotapes, etc and would then upload into my hz-100 databases for same. I'd probably also use it for quickie letter writing (also to upload) when I'm too lazy to walk in to the den and fire up the -100. Is it a dog, or should I go for it? What will I hate about it? As for the $200 certificate (assuming I do the above), I still have a note on my wall about Painter's Apprentice, but don't find it in the catalog. Is it still available, and is the Kraft Micromouse in the Heath Catalog the one to buy if I find it? Thanks, and Happy New Year to all. don [malpass@LL-vlsi.arpa]
