Thanks. I didn't get Megan in the photo because I
wanted a close-up of
the portable.
As I said, I'm just as happy not to be in the photo...
I wish I'd been able to bring the other 'never'-11, the techmate.
It unfortunately appears to not power-up correctly, so I need to
do some work on it and try to figure out what is wrong. I think
it may be as simple as needing a replacement VT100 basic video
board...
That laptop proto is a heavy sucker--thick metal case.
A paper label on
the bottom of it says "Digital Prototype #6". I thought that it might
have been a prototype for the GiGi VK-100, but having since compared
photos, I'm not so sure.
I have some VK100s, they are most definitely different...
