I was standing around waiting for their pitiful excuse for service and wandered by the word processor display. Compared to the Tandy, it's big, ugly and definitely not a "laptop" unit. The only advantage I saw was that it has a backlit display (but that eats power) and it has a spreadsheet application. Plus, it costs more money. If I'm mistaken and Panasonic has another unit I didn't see, could you post a brief spec (ie. weight, dimensions, battery type + life)? - Lowell -- Lowell J.
