The Mac Portable, in common with all other Macs, is missing one essentail
feature that the Amstrad PPC, HP110, HP Portable+ and my older laptops,
Tandy M100, Epson HX20 and Epson PX8 all have (as do some other laptops I
don't own). I am sure you can guess what that is ;-)

neither want nor need nor could use if they were given, that disbars
you from using any 21st-century computer...
