One of the researchers of my faculty will stay in Antarctica next December.
I have to supply him with a laptop computer (MS/DOS). Has anybody any
experiences with this? I heard temperatures will be about 0 degr. Celsius,
and humidity more than 90 percent! 
Do LCD displays still function at low temperatures?
I suppose working with floppy disks is out of the question with such a
high humidity.
If you have any information about which brand to use, please let me know.

BTW: the laptop will be used for wordprocessing I think.
