[comp.sys.laptops] Prodigy

What is the best laptop to use with Prodigy?  Any Prodigy users out there?

It needs decent graphics resolution and probably a hard drive - but maybe
it runs fine on a floppy, I just haven't tried.  A 2400 baud modem is also
necessary.

BTW, when I say "BEST" I mean a ratio of features to expense.  What laptop,
that can run Prodigy well, has the best

                          Features
                         ----------
                          Expense

value.  The higher number wins!

Hmmm..., tell me how you are quantifing "features" and maybe I can give you
a number for the T-1000, but in any case I'm afraid it would be quite low.  A
slow processor with a non-backlit lcd display does not lend itself to Prodigy.
But on the other hand, I am not (was not) enamoured with Prodigy anyway and 
dropped it after a couple of months usage.
