3677.0. "See the New HiNote Ultra Notebook PC!" by PCBUOA::PBASMAJIAN () Mon Feb 06 1995 19:23

Call for Participants: Mobile Computing Focus Group!
    
    The PC Business Unit is conducting an informal focus group consisting of 
    BOTH new and experienced mobile computing users, and would like to invite 
    interested parties from within Digital to participate.
    
    Requirements:	New or Experienced Users: No Skill Level 
    			Required.  We are looking for a mix of both
    			sophisticated users, as well as those who know 
    			little or nothing about PCs or mobile computers.
    
    			Specifically, we are looking for sales or sales 
    			support people, accounting/finance, marketing 
    			professionals or others who travel significantly.
    
    			No past or present technical writers or 
    			instructional designers
    
    Benefit to You:	You will have an opportunity to see, touch (and
    			hear!) Digital's latest and most advanced notebook 
    			computer, the HiNote Ultra, lauded by industry 
    			analysts and trade publications.  This unit is 
    			currently not yet available through other channels 
    			other than Digital directly (i.e. you cannot see it
    			in retail stores, etc.)
    
    			The HiNote Ultra is one of the lightest and
    			slimmest notebooks in its class, contains a full-size 
    			notebook keyboard, includes multimedia features 
    			such as built-in business audio, and uses infrared 
    			technology.
    
    Participation:	1 Hour during week of Mon 2/13-Fri 2/17 at AKO1, PC
    			Business Unit
    Project 
    Description:	It is a documentation study.  You will be 
    			asked to open a HiNote Ultra shipping carton and 
    			setup the unit using the existing "quick start" 
    			documentation.  
    
    If you are interested, please send mail by 2/10 to PCBUOA::PBASMAJIAN, 
    or Peter Basmajian @AKO.

	This week's PC WEEK has a column by Jim Louderback which rips the HiNote Ultra and Field Service. He recounted numerous hardware problems and system limitations. He even regretted the fact that he told his father to buy one. He ends the column saying he is to become Editor-in-Chief of Windows Sources. It's so good having friends in high places... :^(
