- According to what has been said by Apple, the only new Powerbook is
- the 165c, which is identical to a 160 except it uses a color super-twist
- display that apparantly not too many people are impressed with. There
- are other owerbooks on the horizon, but don't expect anything else
- before late summer - early fall.

-
- Nope. And I doubt there will be. Apple doesn't see to like it. The
- big talk is really about new powerbooks having PCMCIA slots.
