We're thinking about grabbing a couple of these guys, but they don't seem to be nearly as available as they were a few months ago. Have they been discontinued? Does anyone out there have any experience with them?? Does anyone have any other recommendations in the "real light" category?? Our requirements center mainly around small and light, rather than having a hundred gajillion bytes of memory or disk, as this will be used exclusively as an on-the-road writing tool, and occassional remote login device. All leads appreciated. And hurry -- I have to spend money by Friday! Regards, -- Stanley P.

I have NEC Ultralight with me. We won it but were quite excited
about using it. Well reality set in! Mine has 640K and 2Mb disk.
This is not enough room to load on very much software. I did have
Quick-C loaded( well part of it anyway). What it has evolved to is
a portable terminal. I have Procomm running on it and use the
internal modem to dial out. I also use it for local editing of
programs and documentation.
I am probably the wrong market for this machine. It is probably best
suited for a business persom that wants to load a Lotus or WP program
and work on it during the daily commute. I could only ever get about
2 - 3 hours of use of fully charged batteries.

P.S. Flight Simulator does not run on it! And I thought I had found
a good use for it :-)
