[net.micro] cheap laptops

[    This line intentionally left blank.    ]

I am looking for a cheap laptop computer.  My needs are modest.
One disk drive will suit me fine.  It must have a battery which
will last at least ten hours.  Built-in screen would be nice.
And some sort of programming language (BASIC, FORTRAN, Pascal,
etc.).  That's about it.  Any suggestions would be very much
appreciated.  I will summarize and repost if anyone requests
that I do so.

Thanks, folks.

Bondwell has a laptop that sells for $999. One 3.5" disk drive, 25x80
LCD screen, parallel and serial ports, optional internal modem (300 or
1200 baud), CPM operating system, software bundled (word-processor,
spreadsheet, BASIC, communications, etc). I haven't played with any, but
it sounds like a good deal.
