It's not such a good deal at $699 or $899, in my not-necessarily-humble
opinion. That's why I was suggesting that we write Drew some letters.
Other notebooks, such as the Sharp, are going for similar prices and
have 286's and mono VGA displays and more memory. Basically, there are
a bunch of 286's out there with DOS4.01 (yuck) in ROM that are being
heavily discounted because of pressure from the 386SX and DOS5.0.

Me too. I still think it's cute and will probably keep using it until
I can get something *way* better for under $1000 -- like a 386 with VGA,
4MB of memory, 80MB of disk, and more battery time (like 4 hours plus) --
and of course, when I have a spare $1000 to spend.
