You all could team up with us Model 100 users. We've been discussing a

hacking on.

Many of us still use a M100 in lieu of a laptop at least for the kinds
of things its capable of out-of-the-box, like text editing and basic
programming, and terminal I/O.

So if you made the coco4 portable and meet these requirements might
unify our two camps into a juggernaut like the world has never seen :-)

Current ideas are a ARM cpu, ez80, or rabbit. If ARM could prototype
using the Gumstix embedded computers and a T102 case.

I think the world could use true laptop, unlike the power hungry junk we
see these days.
