Wang makes one, the Wang laptop. It has an 80x25 LCD screen, 10mb hard disk, Ni-Cad batteries, and a 10cps thermal printer. I enjoyed using it, but it's not cheap and it's a little heavy (much heaver than a Toshiba T1000, obviously). Call your local WANG salesperson. -- Howard G.

(Oops, better not make that offer. I might need it again some day.) The Panasonic Exec-Partner is a luggable (~30 lbs.) IBM-comp. p.c. that comes with a built-in printer. The unit is extremely reliable, mine having logged > 250,000 airline miles in the last two point five years. Mine is the two floppy version, but friends with the hard disk version report similar positive results. I recently (last November) finally retired the beast in favor of a Zenith 181 laptop plus a Diconix 150 printer. The combined weight is less, and the printer is much faster/quiter/higher quality. So now I lug a laptop instead of a luggable. I really did like the Panasonic, and would recommend it for many applications. I just needed something lighter and faster for my present applications. Good luck. -- AT&T o o 303-538-5004 Don Stanwyck || ihnp4!drutx!stanwyck Denver, CO USA \__/ Telecom Standards
