Hi, NetLanders, I need a laptop (or a portable or whatever that I can reasonably bring around) but have limited funds. I don't need a lot of fancy features, CGA is fine, and 2 floppies is tolerable (though a hard disk may be better). Modem is good but not critical. Any recommendations? Please reply to this account. Thanx! - Stephen

I need to sell my Zenith 181-92 laptop, (cuz I'm going home to Malaysia). The machine comes with a LCD CGA screen, 640K RAM, 2 3.5" 720K floppies, and a case. Oh, I also have an external 2400 bps modem. And I'm asking $1,200/- for both laptop and modem. Interested? The Zenith is very solidly built, with both floppies protected when laptop is closed up (i.e., the floppies are not located on the side of the machine). The screen is unusually large for a laptop computer. Only drawback is its single speed of a slow 4.77mHz. If you are interested, there is the problem of how to ship the laptop to you, as we're on different coasts. I don't know how safe UPS is - I don't want the machine to reach you with any of its parts rattling! As for the cost of shipping, would you care to share it 50-50? I'll also throw in some software if you're interested. Let me know. Chet Chin UC San Diego
