How is the Casio BOSS and/or Wizard OZ-8x00 better than an atari
portfolio?  Same price range, similar displays and keyboards, right?
Is it just a preference of firmware calendar/phonebooks vs. MSDOS?
The display on the Portfolio seems thoroughly readable.  I guess the
atari is bigger, yes?  Would the size difference (whatever it is) make
much difference in how often you carry it?
