Hummmmmmm,,I wonder what battery will fit in a unit so thin???? INFOWORLD 07/06/98 P. 12 "Toshiba last week made its entry into the emerging class of super-thin portables with three machines that are headed for the United States in the next six months. The units include the Protege 6000, which measures 0.9-inch high, and a B5-size unit that boasts a height of 0.8-inch -- the world's thinnest machine of its kind, Toshiba officials said. All of the machines will sell first in Japan. A U.S. version of the Protege 6000 will ship later this year, and the Protege 3000 series will likely sell in the United States starting early in 1999. The 4-pound Protege 6000 is powered by Intel's 266-MHz Pentium processor with MMX technology and is available with as much as 96MB of EDO memory... It will be available in Japan for an estimated street price of $3,057, officials said."

Don't know who he works for. Don't care. What I DO care about is that Red Chip report due out Friday(how's that for advertising, eh?). Since they'd dropped their coverage of VLNC because they were unhappy over being blindsided by L.D.'s "move to Henderson" announcement(the "unhappy" comment is, of course, imho) and because it threw their forecast riiiiight out the window, ya gotta ask yerself a basic question. Why are they coming out with this report NOW? Right at the same time financing has become the critical issue that it is. By the way, do you sense I DO NOT believe in coincidences? HEH! It could be a good report, it could be a bad report, then again, it could be neutral(naaaah, highly unlikely in light of recent history). The question remains, why now, eh? Hmmmmmm.............Anyone care to speculate(no pun intended)? John~
