Subject: CP/M laptops

The Epson Geneva (PX-8) definitely is a CP/M machine.  The Starlet (I am
pretty sure) and the SORD can operate as CP/M machines, but have
additional (and default) operating modes that are intended to be
'simple' and that don't look like CP/M.  The PX-8 moves beyond/above
CP/M only in having a menu-selection mode for commands that is easily
shut off.

Incidentally, these three machines are really laptops, with weights in
the 4-5 pound range.  The Bondwell, as I understand it, requires a
somewhat stronger lap.

If anyone cares, I have no affiliation with any of the four companies,
and this should not be construed as a recommendation for or against of
the machines, although I do have a much-travelled and much-abused Epson.
