BEFORE the Mac Portable? Are you sure? The Outbound ran from late '91 to
'92. I thought the Mac Portable was older. I would definately think so,
considering the amazing size difference between the two. Also, was it not
a Mac Portable that sent the first e-mail from space? I have a QuickTime
movie of a Mac Portable on the space shuttle and when they eject a floppy,
it floats across the cabin.

Is that a Newton in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?
