...grab-bag adjective new age doesn't even begin to embrace it. No, this is beyond that, this display arrayed before anyone taking a stroll down the midway at the "Whole Life Expo," the country's largest and most successful holistic fair, which packed more than 20,000 souls into an arena in Austin, Texas, last week and is on its way to a city near...
...this may seem to be on the far edge, but in truth the crowd is heavy with folks wearing boat shoes and J. Crew shirts. The overflow throngs at the Austin expo are emphatically not wearing sarongs, and they don't have full-body tattoos or multiple piercings. There is barely a dreadlock to be seen; the average age of the expo attendee is 38, and the average wallet is fat. After all, this is the same bunch that has caused sales of natural products to rocket from $4.2 billion in 1990 to $14 billion in 1996, and sales...

Smaller, faster, better is something of a cliche in the computer business, but occasionally it yields little miracles. At PC Expo in New York City last week, Toshiba displayed a smaller, faster computer that, geeks were wagging, is actually better. With all the capabilities of a full-fledged laptop, the teensy (roughly the size of a paperback book) beige Libretto is a fully functional Windows 95 computer fueled by 75 MHz of Intel Pentium power. This mini-notebook also features one of Toshiba's finest-quality color screens (albeit a tiny 5 in. wide) with a pointing device built into...
