It _was_ very expandable, and flexible--and it had the cool removable
cover! I just recently had to throw out mine, because they got
mildewy. :-( Worse, we somehow lost the clear cover. But at one point,
you could get leather, or brushed aluminum, and many other covers for
this book. That was way cool. :-). Plus, swappable drives, double
batteries.... Lots of goodies for this model--and it weren't ugly,
IMO! Maybe a bit boxy, but back then, it was the thing.
