As you can tell, I use one. As a matter of fact, I'm typing this message on it over a 9600 baud serial line in VT100 mode. I use a 2.4MB hardRAM drive. It's handy to have in meetings because it doesn't make any noise. Although it beeps on power-off, that can be fixed by disconnecting the speaker wire inside. (the 1000SE is easy to take apart!) Although I probably couldn't live w/o the instant on/off hardRAM drive, I certainly couldn't get along w/o PC Tools deluxe. It does almost everything I ever need. I rarely use the desktop machine anymore (except to answer to phone). If you buy a laptop, buy PC Tools. If you don't, buy it anyway. If you buy PC Tools, use the Macro features. You can really do amazing things with them. i.e. At 9 each night, tomorrow's schedule is printed even though I'm running voice mail. It's great. Good luck.
