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.
