In addition to my Original Osborne 1, I have a Toshiba T3100. At a mere 6.something kilos, it was the epitome of convenience. Came with bag which in turn included a shoulder strap. AT performance, 640K RAM, 10 Mbyte disk. "Your Computer" magazine's Computer of the Year. (I know early, I was talking to the editor, and the topic came up, and he said, "It's obvious, isn't it?" The T3100 was first with hard drive. -- Cheers John. Join the "Linux Support by Small Businesses" list at http://mail.computerdatasafe.com.au/mailman/listinfo/lssb
