" Has anybody bought a Bondwell Laptop? If so what is your opinion
" about this computer?

I bought one.  It works.  Reading the screen is irritating after
a while -- not back-lit.  Disk drives are pretty slow.  Using the
mouse with WordStar might not be practical -- the mouse cursor
sort of skitters around the screen -- but it does function.  (WordStar
doesn't handle the mouse; a separate program, Magic Mouse, does.)
I hooked it up to a separate monitor to see some (a little, low resolution)
color -- that works, too.  Battery seems to be lasting, oh, well
over an hour between recharges.
