I just saw this machine the other day and it struck me that this is
the first machine with a great keyboard AND a great screen.  Every
other machine I've seen had either one or the other or neither.  AT&T
hasn't exactly had the best of luck with their bigger machines, though
(to put it mildly), and I was wondering what people on the net thought
about the machine before I plunk down my Amex card.

For those who might be interested, the specs basically are as follows:
386SX/20 MHz
7.3 lbs with 2 batteries installed (I think you can put either 1 or 2
batteries in the machine -- when you buy the machine you get 2
batteries -- max 6 hrs of power)
10" VGA
2 MB Standard, Exp. to either 6 or 8 MB
40 MB hard drive (80 MB drive available "soon")
2400 bps modem
AT&T mouse
Dos 4.1, Windows 3.0, Windows Productivity Pack, AT&T Mail Access
PLUS, and Safari TourGuide
Connector to PS/2 Mouse or ext. keyboard
Serial port
Parallel port
AT-Bus interface connector
CRT connector
12" x 9.5" x 1.8"

It seems to be the machine with everything....  Any opinions?
Please post or email replies SOON.  I'm leaving the country soon and I
would like to take a notebook computer with me.
