[Hewlett Packard's  development lab] are working at breakneck speed
on a  new portable computer  about the size of  the familiar Compaq
with a 9-inch screen and a built-in ink jet printer with - get this
fans - UNIX in ROM, all for about $4,000.

Anyone on the net care to confirm,  deny,  or say more.  Especially
what UNIX version, what chip, what resources  (is a hard disk used,
necessary, ...), etc.
