Chas, One other item to consider…even if the Portfolio is a run-away success (BTW…it's NOT MS-DOS compatible)…it's essentially a throw-away computer. More than likely…it'd cost Atari more money to fix one than to simply replace it. At it's selling price of $400, it's real cost is probably somewhere near $40 (or less). Considering overhead, shipping, labor, parts inventory, etc….that' $40 would probably be eaten up in about 15 minutes worth of bench time. Don
