...still can't afford a high-speed ISDN line, the old modulator-demodulator still has a few tricks up its sleeve. Acer's Wireless PC Connection ($200) uses 900-MHz spread-spectrum technology to permit notebook users to stray up to 500 ft. from their phone jacks for backyard or poolside computing. Meanwhile, SuperSonic II ($200) from Diamond Multimedia yokes two modems (and two phone lines) together to bring the effective bandwidth up to 112 kbps (kilobits per sec.). If someone calls while you're online, the system just cuts the speed in half until you hang up the phone...
...prices are so low that you can get a 180-MHz Pentium-compatible system with a fast modem, huge hard drive, lots of memory, multimedia equipment and a decent monitor for less than $1,000--prices never seen for comparably priced equipment in industry history...

...head start in the desktop-personal-computer business in the early 1980s. Now it's staging a credible come-from-behind charge in the laptop marketplace with a series of thin, lightweight machines that perform well and look great. The strongest of the wonderful bunch is the 133-MHz Pentium-powered 760ED. With a luminous 12.1-in. screen, 16 MB of memory standard in each computer and a large 2.1-GB hard drive and built-in fax modem, the 6.7-lb. computer is powerful enough to handle the strictest demands of Road Warrior computing...
