<<<You can get a magnesium cased 135G's shock resistant... laptop GRiD Compass 
1101 with Electroluminescent flat panel screen... 256K RAM, 8086/8087, 384K 
Bubble Memory and Built-in 1200 Baud modem used for $200.>>>

Anybody besides me get in on this?  We need a support group!  Although I'm not 
experienced at this, I'll volunteer to put together a mailing list for these 
machines.

My first impression of the hard disk and the software is very good.  (The 
actual computer hasn't been shipped yet.)  Very nice manuals, and GRiD-OS looks 
superb.  (Message-based, with shared, re-entrant user-interface libraries and 
dynamic device drivers.)

Specifically, I'm looking for a C compiler for GRiD-OS.  The "official" one (PN 
23032) costs $600, and is not available at the off-lease discount!  GRiD-OS 
looks like just the thing for a packet station manager.
