I'd appreciate some advice.  I'm in the market for a laptop machine.  I need
to be able to run Windows 3.0 with a decent amount of memory => I need a 286 or
386 machine with at least 2Mb of RAM.  Also, a hard disk, at least 20Mb.  My 
main problem is a lack of dollars!  Can someone recommend a machine that will
come in under 2k$ for such a configuration?  Mail order, etc. is OK.

I did look at a Zenith SupersPort in our microcomputer store here on campus. 
I'm curious about these "scan double CGA" things - do they really give you
640x400 resolution?  And can anyone tell me how Windows 3.0 looks on such a
screen?  Does the driver come with the standard Windows distribution, or do you
need to get one from elsewhere?

			Thanks in advance.  Jim.
