Yes, folks, you read the title correctly.
Radio Shack is going to discontinue the Model 4P (portable) computer
from their line, probably within the month.  The gentleman at a local
computer shop (also an RS dealer) couldn't believe it, but the decision
has been made.  RS is going to produce a portable version of the 2000,
saying the 4P's inability to expand beyond 2 disks precluded further
use of the system in the RS computer line...
Also, if you've wanted a Model 4 desktop, if you can wait a few months,
you'll pick up one for about $1,000.  RS is evidently getting ready
to move into the Apple-type computer systems for the home instead of
business, and the 50% price reduction on the 4 is a step in that direction
