I've been seeing some good deals on NEC laptops recently. Is the original Multispeed (no backlite) being phased out ? And what are the differences between the Multispeed EL and Multispeed EL2 ?

I don't know if the original is discontinued. The screen wasn't very readable, so I would advise against it. The EL2 has a brighter screen with greater contrast than the EL back lighted screen (which is fairly adequate, but not as bright as the Zenith screens). The case also seems different. Unless they have made other changes for the EL, you cannot have a math chip, additional memory or a hard disk. -- Frank Burleigh/ Dept. of Sociology/Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405 USENET: ...rutger4!iuvax!silver!burleigh 812/333-7082, 335-4127
