Aw, darn. this must be one of those prototype systems not yet
available. 

And, again, aw darn. It had to be Microsoft. Sorry, but I've despised
Microsoft since they charged for their bug fixes in DOS 3.x when 
IBM was honorably giving the patches away.  (And I'll stop with 
that.)

Nevertheless, if the machine gives me a "slate" that I can do what
I want with, I really don't care who makes it (Apple, take heed).
