               1. A compact portable audio/display electronic apparatus               
          comprising:                                                                 
               a compact portable casing capable of being held in one                 
          hand and operated with the other hand of a user,                            
               a hinged cover secured to one edge of a top surface of                 
          said casing and pivoted to cover said casing top surface                    
          constituting its closed position and pivoted to an upright                  
          angular position relative to said top surface constituting its              
          open position,                                                              
               a liquid crystal display formed on an inside surface of                
          said hinged cover for viewing by a user when said hinged cover              
          is in its open position,                                                    
               compact mass storage memory means provided in a cavity in              
          said apparatus comprising a magneto-optic storage medium, said              
          memory characterized by having a data storage capacity that is              
          more than that of conventional memories and capable of                      
          handling concurrently recording and access of both display and              
          audio data,                                                                 
               user interface means comprising a keyboard formed in said              
          apparatus top surface and including iconic input keys for                   
          inquirable and inquisitorial access to data stored in said                  
          compact mass storage means, said user interface means                       
          overlying said compact mass storage means in said cavity,                   
                                          2
