   Not that long ago, I posted a letter that asked for any information on 
available portables, since I was (and still am) looking to purchase one.
Since then, I have bought some magazines, and have figured out a basic
diagram of the portable I am looking for...

   1) Portable with removable keyboard
	(I dislike one piece units)
   2) Gas Plasma Display
   3) Large screen length (about 8.25x5.25 / > 5.25 would be better)
   4) 20meg HD minimum, 40 meg HD maximum
   5) 2400 baud internal modem (1200 acceptable ..but regretible)
   6) 3 1/4"  1.44 drive
   7) plug only...no batteries (I want to easily transport it from home
       to college...not take it on the bus with me)
   8) Uses: Communications, Word processing, some programming (pascal, C)
   9) 386 or 386SX
  10) Needs the following ports:

		a) external monitor (VGA,CGA,EGA...who cares)
		b) communications port for external modem
		     (note: Yes I do want both an internal modem and
			    the port for an external...my college has
 			    modems built into the phone, and I want a
 			    modem for home.)

   If you know where I can get this cheap, e-mail me.

				Thanks in advance,
