The new (October) issue of MacUser lists an interesting laptop alternative to Apple's forthcoming machine: take one Atari Stacy (ST laptop) with 1 Meg of RAM, floppy drive and 20 Meg Hard drive ($1995), add the Spectre GCR by Gadgets by Small, who have been making STs into Macs for a couple of years, ($299.95). Stir to a boil with Mac Plus ROMs (sorry, Apple), available for about $125, and for something under $2500 you have a laptop Mac with trackball that weighs 15 lbs. So it ain't exactly kosher; it is cheap, though. Ralph -- Ralph Brandi [most gateways in the known universe]!att!lzfme!ralph Work flows toward the competent until they are submerged.
