[ this includes uucp. just think you can have a portable roving uucp node!] this means no languages on the bare machine except hp-basic. speed and screen resolution are ok. the printer goes for 500 pages before a new head assembly is needed [really small thing, inexpensive, a smoother than plain paper is needed]. the hp-ib appears to be a nice thing to have. the process limit is fixed around 10, i think, + or - a few: we had the window manager and two shells running as well. the mouse has different semantics. you have to test drive this machine. i'll wait for the lap-sized version of this machine in the future {must have more storage}, it weighs [they said] 25 lbs. i think our model was 30 [i carry a 20 lbs mac to and from work, when well]. --eugene miya NASA Ames Research Center {hplabs,ihnp4,dual,hao,vortex}!ames!aurora!eugene emiya@ames-vmsb.ARPA
