One interesting thing about the Outbound, IIRC, was that not only
was it introduced before the Portable came out, but it was way
better than the Portable. So much better that Apple, who
apparently hadn't quite agreed to license the rom's, gave them a
choice: either you give us your computer, or we sue the pants off of
you and we'll get it anyway.

The Outbound then became the PowerBook. Might as well let
someone else do your R&D for you.....
