two hp reps brought one of these machines to my office.  five of us hobbled
over to a larger room.  it's an impressive machine for it's size and what it
does.  i want to emphasize the above points: the version we had some 20
commands from what most users would call /bin or /usr/bin [ and /usr/ucb
if you are running bsd].

after a few minutes you get tired of hearing the floppy turn [they
also said there is a fan in the thing: it was pretty quiet].  you
really have to have the 55 MB disk to appreciate it.  the Development
environment has pwb, wwb, as well as 'the rest.' [ this includes uucp.  just
think you can have a portable roving uucp node!]  this means no languages
on the bare machine except hp-basic.  speed and screen resolution are ok.
the printer goes for 500 pages before a new head assembly is needed
[really small thing, inexpensive, a smoother than plain paper is needed].
the hp-ib appears to be a nice thing to have.  the process limit
is fixed around 10, i think, + or - a few: we had the window manager
and two shells running as well.  the mouse has different semantics.
you have to test drive this machine.  i'll wait for the lap-sized
version of this machine in the future {must have more storage}, it
weighs [they said] 25 lbs.  i think our model was 30 [i carry a 20 lbs
mac to and from work, when well].
