- Sorry, I don't consider a Powerbook 100 a real computer for engineering use
- (since you have been talking about running Mathematica). I can get a new
- Powerbook locally for $500, and try looking at Educalc...they sell the 48S
- for $139. I never specified which 48. (fyi, they sell the SX for $249)
