I would like to have a portable computer to take on trips with me so
that I  could use it to edit papers, write memos while things are fresh
in my mind, and other text creation and editing tasks. I use ms word 4.0
on my mac. I just can't see shelling out $7000 for a mac portable for
these lightweight, mundane uses. Besides, I don't _have_ $7000 to shell
out for a portable!

does anyone know of a portable I could use that would be "compatible"
with my mac in the sense of being able to edit existing word 4.0 files
and create new text files that I could then transfer to my mac and edit
as word files with minimal hassle? I'm looking for something in the
$2000 or under range.

thanks for any advice.
