Lets come to the most basics. I'm in need of a light weight laptop that has at least one floppy or can easily transfer files to and from with my desktop such as via a serial port. Price is the biggest concern. Display quality doesn't matter. Internal battery nice but not must. I think most people here use laptops so someone should be able to instruct as to where to look for such a machines. Many Thanks Joe dve@mace.cc.purdue.edu

You might want to look at the Toshiba T1000 (original model), still available for around $600, or the newer T1000SE for around $900. Also, the Panasonic CF-150B. ...Michael

Display quality doesn't matter. Internal battery nice but > not must. i use a Toshiba 1000SE around campus. it's the lightest thing that I could find and could afford. It's around 5.x pounds, XT with 1.44mb floppy, CGA and 1meg of memory. It has a nice feature of hard ram which can act like a mini hard drive, comes in handy when I'm not running DesqView and using the 1meg RAM. i believe it costs $1200, but I can check on that. bob
