I want one.
Actually, having thought about this a bit, I've concluded that my
ideal Squeak box would be a replacement for my TRS-80 Model 100--that
is, notebook-sized, light, rugged, durable and cheap. Also, a
full-sized keyboard and display would be nice and it ought to be able
to run for hours without needing battery replacement.
