Just found this in a box... Has anyone here ever heard of a Gateway
2000 Handbook computer? It's like a palmtop/laptop computer,
10"x6"x1.5"...
using a Chips & Tech. 8680 "PC on a chip". It has the 2MB RAM upgrade, to
bring it to a whopping 3MB!
And would you look at that, 40MB HDD... With the null modem cable,
it would make a great ultra-portable terminal...

Or upload things you find on the web but don't want to read while sitting
in front of the computer. Then wander off to a more comfy location to
read it. I have two DOS-era pen computers (Safari and GRiD) i have to
resurect that i want to do this with.

I remember getting a press briefing on the Handbook before its release.
Gateway did not manufacture the unit. I think it was made under contract in
Taiwan. It was an interesting system that was not on the market for long.
I'd grab one if the opportunity presented itself.
