...newcomer is priced accordingly. With 20 megabytes of memory on its hard- disk drive, a basic version of the LTE retails for $2,999. A more powerful model offers 40 megabytes of hard-disk memory for $4,999. Even at those prices, the LTE will be a formidable competitor, according to industry analysts. Boasts Compaq spokesman John Sweney: "It's a full-function PC. It gets everything into that same size without any of the compromises that other manufacturers had to make." Compaq is aiming at a hot new market: laptop sales are expected to grow from 834,000 units...

According to II Timothy 3: 16, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable" for believers. Obviously, computer companies are also hoping to turn a profit from Holy Writ...
There were moments where Dylan's aggressive independence paid off and his performance shone. A rousing version of "Like a Rolling Stone" brought the crowd of 1000 to their feet, and Dylan growled his way through "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" in a winning manner. After a few opening songs in which he looked restrained, the energy level never flagged, and, as always, Dylan looked gratifyingly scruffy with his black leather and tangled hair.
