Personally, I like the idea of the BridgeBoard. It allows me to add a whole new computer, <looking over shoulder> and my wife won't be able to walk in to my office and say: "Where did THAT come from?" <g> But as far as price-performance-value goes, it really depends on what you're going to use it for, and how much that desktop space is worth to you. It's pretty hard to beat the clone prices out there these days… especially with some of the software bundles that are included. Cumulus Computer Corp. has a new 386SX-20MHz, 6.5# NOTEBOOK with 60MB HD, 32 shade greyscale LCD screen VGA (& ext port), with side mount mouse, 2MB RAM, ext keyboard port, ext floppy support, internal support for modem AND INCLUDES: MSDOS 5.0, Windows 3.1, MicroSoft Works, WordStar for Windows, Correct Grammer and BitStream Facelift… all for $1,399 retail (not mail order!). Made in the USA, and backed by a 12 month warranty. 11" X 8.5" X 2" How can you go wrong with a product like that from a company with the reputation of Cumulus? Michael ….from the north coast
