I am interested in a laptop computer which is Mac compatible. Now,
what I mean by 'Mac compatible' is that I want to be able to send files
(data from spreadsheets, WP, etc.) back and forth (mostly from laptop to
Mac) without a big hassle.
So far I have been interested in the Z88 (Cambridge) mini-laptop
because of it's price and size. I also am interested in Toshiba's T-1?00
series, chiefly the T-1100 and the T-1000.
BIG QUESTIONS: Do any of you have experience transfering files back and
forth between IBM-compatible laptops and Macs? Which are the best laptops
for general use, Mac compatibility aside? Is it as simple as a null modem
cable and some simple software?
BIGGEST QUESTION: What's the best laptop for around $1000.00 (education
discount included)?
Please e-mail and I will summarize results in a veritable orgy or
Mac-laptop information. :-)
Thanks!

I borrowed a Z88 from a coworking recently hoping I can use it to keep a light schedule and notes. After investing in 4 Energizers, I have come to the conclusion that the Z88 is just about useless for me: the 'word processor' on this thing doesn't word-wrap. Now, to those accustomed to modern (post 1979) word processing, lack of word-wrap is unacceptable. For now I will continue to carry my trusty notebook. My notebook doesn't word wrap either but it is smaller. Paul Mercer Finder Team Apple Computer, Inc. I'm responsible for my thoughts
