I am very curious about the STacey.  From where I am sitting there
really doesn't seem to be a market for it.  The only reason I can see
for a portable is to take your work with you.  Well, in the US, very
few companies use the ST at all.  Now granted, I can see where it
might be worth it in Europe where the ST has its buisness image, but
even there enough ST's (only 1million) have not been sold to justify
it.

Just on a side note.  There are no hardware flaws with the ST.  All
the bugs are in software.  I remember reading in another article that
the hardware was hacked.  I don't get it.  THe hardware is all off the
shelf, the system never crashes or behaves unpredictably due to
hardware problems.
