# Dallas Timex/Sinclair Amstrad Users – April Meeting

Please come to the April meeting for a demonstration of the Amstrad PPC 640 Portable Personal Computer. Priced at less than $1000, the new laptop is as full-featured as any Desktop PC compatible, right down to the no-compromise keyboard. Yet you can run it from the cigarette lighter in your car, as well as (by more conventional means) at home or the office. With all the Amstrad quality and user-friendly software (not to mention a built-in 2400 baud modem) it is bound to be a winner!
