I owned one (bought used) and thought it was really cool. But you couldn't get software for it and (at the time it was being marketed) it wasn't keeping up with what you could get on a PC or a Mac. It was a good idea and in many respects rather innovative in its design. It was just poorly executed from a marketing perspective. MDC Dmitry A.
