Another question about the deal:
   -What effect whill this have on the two companies respective computers?
	Are we going to start to see Model 100's in brushed black magnesium?
	Or worse, are GRiD's going to get packaged in tupperware like 
        cases?

I really like GRiD's laptops and am planning of getting one in the future. I
would appreciate feedback on users of thier machines (via E-Mail please). I
wonder what effect this this will have on them in the long run however?  I
am sure that the technological benfit will be mostly to Tandy's side, but what
is going to happen to the GRiD systems??

Thanks in advance.
