Steven Jobs has been promising such a product to come from his new company
whose name escapes me.  Word has it that it is looking so promising that H.
Ross Perot (watch out G.M.) is now investing into it.  Price to be under
$3000.  But again, its all vaporware at the moment.  The race is on and
whoever get out first (and gets it right (listening IBM-RT?)) will win big.
