It looks like a match made in heaven.  A reasonably cheap and powerful computer
with no base of peripherals and a bunch of peoples with a lot of 'if only....'
ideas for it.  Would it be reasonable for Atari to make an effort to spread the
description of the Portfolio's peripheral interface in every available public
location (like comp.sys.atari.st / INFOATARI16, for instance)?  That way all
the bright kids who need class projects for their advanced electronics lab
courses next year will get plenty of time to stew over ideas.  Maybe some pros
who would have gotten around to requesting the docs from Atari "Next week"
will get a start thinking about possibilities.  Just a thought.
