I like my hard cover for my M102, but then I consider Jon Shurtleff a friend so would probably like anything he made. If I ever got a WP-2, I'd get one of his hard covers. Hey, it would protect the machine and help out out the Club business and Jon. I went looking around a few Radio Shack stores asking about the WP-2, and all of the ones around the City (San Francisco) where I asked all ran out about 2-3 months ago. They all tried to get me to but a MS-DOS laptop, but I refuse to get into MS-DOS, pay the extra money for "a more powerful" machine which would do a lot of stuff and weigh a lot more than what I care about. Compared to a $800 plus Tandy laptop, a $145 used WP-2 from Pacific Computer Exchange sounds good. I may even be able to get a better deal on a used one from someone in the club if I decide to follow up on some of the ads. If I was going to get a laptop and pay the Big Bucks, I'd probably go Apple PowerBook since I have Mac software and would not need to reinvest in more non-compatable works.
