Okay, first, where do we stop with the 'was:' things as an interesting
thread evolves!?
There may be a limit to number of nested parentheses in a subject line! ;-)

Anybody know of a URL or printed reference to a photo of an Ampere, MINDSET
or eMate machine? Heard of them and I would like to see what they're like.
I have somewhere in my archives old Popular Electronics and Byte mags which
I'm sure show the others on Doug's list. Those NeXT machines were indeed
pleasing to look at. I wish I could find one nearby here to see up close
or/and purchase.
