   I've been looking at the Casio "B.O.S.S.", and it looks real
tempting, but I haven't gotten a look at a user's manual for it
yet. What I mainly want to know is, does the "memo" program have
any kind of text-editing features (at least cut & paste)? If not,
it seems like it would be of limited usefulness to me, since it's
not likely to be programmable at the system level.
(Waldensoftware is selling them for $200, but I don't know what
they want for the PC file-transfer adapter).
 
   The Atari Portfolio is such a near miss that I expect someone
will do it right one of these years (I'd be more tempted if it
had the serial port built in). In fact, I'm a little afraid to
buy anything right now, they keep getting better-- I'm also
starting to look at the Psion MC200, even though it's larger &
more expensive (we would have called it small a couple of years
ago).

P.S. I crossposted this to both comp.sys.laptops and comp.sys handhelds
because I don't know which is really appropriate. Most of the time
the latter is dominated by HP calculators. Any comments?
