Actually its been out a while.  My little brother (actually he's 6'
5"", but he is in high school :-) has a friend who works in Toys 'R Us
who let me play with one "after hours" before Xmas.

This machine is NICE!  It boasts a very well constructed metal case,
and a tiny hires color LCD. A little pricey, (about $180 I think) but
it is a great little toy if you have the cash.

I was most impressed with the speed.  The game that comes with it is
Epyx's California Games.  If you select the Skateboard Competition,
you first see a skateboard field in the distance (one of those
concrete "U" things that you go back and forth on).   All of a sudden,
you zoom in on it very quickly.  It is very impressive. Heck, I was
awed, and I own an amiga :-)

I would like to know a few things about Lynx out of curiosity.

	Does anyone know the microprocessor used?
	Does anyone know the resolution of the screen?
