Anybody have any of these? Any experience with them. I would love some
further information.
The bit on Outbound shocked me, it seems they were
actually working with
Apple.
To quote the 2nd edition: "While Outbound continues to floursh-thanks to
a wisely-forged legal agreement and clever positioning of their Macintosh
portable versus the Apple PowerBooks-I question their long-term staying
power."

I have one--in pieces. I don't know if it works but I got it all
disassembled with cables hanging out of it. A neat unit. Hopefully I'll
find a complete one some day, or get this one working. There were not Mac
ROMs in it by the way. I paid $5.
What specifically did you want to know?
It was a Mac clone with 8" x 8" (or so) LCD screen. The integrated
pointing device it uses is the most interesting feature. It is a 2" long
ridged cylinder that you roll back and forth for up and down motions and
slide left and right for left and right motions. Very cool.

New subject: Probably ignorant question re. Commodore Monitors
Hi!
I finally got a Commodore monitore for one of my C64's - most people seem
to be charging around $90 for them, and that seemsed far too much. But I
picked up one with two C64's and a couple of disk drives for $30. Anyway,
the point is that I was wondering if I can use some of my other stuff on
it, most notably the Amiga CD-32 and the 3DO. Sorry, but I don't know the
model of the monitor. :( (It is a monotone one, though, and it is two tones
of gray - a darker gray on the front, and the back section is a lighter
shade). The problem is that it has two video inputs, one for the picture
and one for the chroma. Is it possible to take a normal signal and split
it accordingly, or should I just look for a more standard colour monitor?
Thanks heaps,
Adam.
