Here is the address and phone of the company offering this Notebook:

VIP Computers, Inc.
960 Industrial Drive
Unit 7
Elmhurst, IL 60126
(708) 832-3080 (Toll free number soon)

Their line of computers are called AUVA computers... I talked to the
manager today and he said that they should have brochures and
catalogs on the Notebook in a week or so. Also he mentioned that
a 486-25 Mhz NOTEBOOK is also available.. As a matter of fact, these
two Notebooks (386SX-20 and 486-25) are going to be at a national
computer show (I don't know which one) in New York in two weeks.

So the prototypes are ready and they are aiming for a June release
if not sooner. Also, there is going to be a 20 meg and 40 meg version
for the 386SX-20 and although prices are not definitive yet, I have
heard a price of $1,800 for the 20 meg version and not too much more
for the 40 meg version.

I will most likely be a campus representative for them so please mention
my name in your correspondence. Thanks.
George
