Anyone remember the one on display in the Seattle ferry terminal? Just
there in that display, man I had to have one.

I picked mine up for around $10 in perfect condition. I also got a nifty

the Compaq logo. Hans saw it first :( But he needed it to carry all his
goodies on the plane back to France.
