Exactly. When the 200 came out I really wanted one, but they were priced a lot
more expensive than the 102 and they never seemed to go on a good sale. This
probably killed them more than anything, which is a shame because they were a
good computer. Actually saw one on the cover of a recent magazine on the
portable office where it was being argued that portable computers are too heavy
and power hungry to be really convenient. The models, in before and after
photos, were supposed to be destroyed working on the monster. Obviously they
didn't realize they were working on a 200 which was exactly the kind of
breakthrough product that the article was calling for - right down to the
AA's!!! So much for truth, or even intelligence, in advertising. Notice the
McDonalds up here use 102's in a metal enclosure. Any idea what for? -Barry
