 I didn't know these were available in the US. I
just hauled one back
(PPC512) from France last week and I thought that I had a very original
portable (even though it got pretty heavy waiting for customs;)
Were there any other of the Amstrad marketted in the US like the CPC series?  
Well, Amstrad wasn't really big over here, but they did sell a few machines.
Other Amstrad's I've got (second hand) are the PDA600 "PenPad" and the
PC-20
(sort of a CoCo-ish/Atari ST-ish one-piece PC).  

btw, there was another PPC640 that sold on eBay this weekend, but it was
complete, with power supplies, software, and a really neat case.  I didn't
get it, though. 8^(
