   No, you _don't_ have all the features of the Mac portable--it's still
lacking the AppleTalk/LocalTalk port.  Until Atari or someone comes up with
a reasonably fast bridge, I seriously doubt people will _really_ look
seriously at one of these, at least in a college environment.

   I have tried to talk people into buying ST's with GCR as a cheap Mac
alternative, but without the AppleTalk, they don't fit in to our scheme of
things.  So until then, my school at least won't be ordering scads of them
to use as portable Macs.
