 ^^^^^^^
Actually, "STacy4" was on the label.  4Mbytes!
Yow!  Nice portable!  Room for two drives, one of them a hard disk, even.
NICE keyboard, readable screen.  Hope Atari is actually able to sell them.
Another portable?  And not even MS-Dos compatible?  <shudder>
Price?  Sandy Small was saying probably < $3000, Sig Hartmann was
saying "Reasonable."

Wonderful.  I suppose you bought the BEST Macintosh emulator because it
was cheaper than the Magic Sac.

It was crowded, and they had an extra room for dealers, although it
was a rather less crowded in there than at the main room.

I missed this -- could you post the information, if possible?

    Well, beyond what Ajay saw, I talked to the rep for Gribnif Software
for a while, and they'll soon have new versions of NeoDesk for different
countries and languages.  Some of these are completed already.  I forget
which; I've already got my copy. 8-)

    I liked the 19" Moniterm.  NeoDesk certainly seems to support it.
Too bad I don't have $2000 lying around which I'm not using for
tuition or food.

    My main gripe, aside from the presence of BEST, is the door prize
system -- "If you do not pick up your prize within 15 minutes, it will
be forfeit."  Ah, well, it was an interesting fair nonetheless.
