[comp.sys.handhelds] What do YOU think about the Portfolio?

Renee@cup.portal.com (Renee Linda Roberts) (07/03/90)

I am considering purchasing an Atari Portfolio. If you have one, or if you
considered buying one recently, please tell me what you think of the unit.
What are it's strengths and weaknesses? Anywhere to find it under $349.00?

Thanks in advance!

I don't have a Portfolio myself, but have played with one for a while and was
quite impressed.  The best buy I have seen is from J&R Music World in New York.
They sell the Portfolio for a mere $300, and a parallel port for $40!  But don't
take my word on it, I don't work for them, Call them up at 1-800-221-8180 and
find out waht the scoop is for yourself.  They have a great selection of 
computers and hardware/software.  They also sell the BOSS and others real cheap.
  If I wasn't a starving student I would order me up one of thoes puppies, and
THEN find a use for it, or let a use grow all on its own.
