Yes, I've owned one for quite a few months now. You can buy them from
an Atari dealer, or mail order from one of the big NYC discount
computer outfits. Try calling directory assistance and asking for the
phone numbers of 47th Street Computer or J & R Music World in area code
212. You can even buy the Portfolio mail order directly from Atari and
get a money back guarantee from them.

I've found the Portfolio to be a terrific buy. It's replaced both my
DayTimer and my log book, and acts as a handheld terminal to boot. I've
even started writing some custom applications for it. BTW, if you're
interested in doing software for the Portfolio, contact Atari's
developer support. They have a VERY cheap package deal for prospective
developers.
