	Yes, I have also packaged Word 5.0, Excel and Windows 2.11 to
run under the Toshiba T1000SE with good results. Each of the above can be
packaged to fit under 1Mb. Thus they can work on the single T1000SE floppy
or, if you have the 1 or 2Mb RAM card, that is the better solution. Since
2Mb RAM cards can be purchased for under $350, that may be smarter than buying
a whole new machine just to get a hard drive. For wordprocessing purposes,
2.4Mb of "hard drive" seems entirely adequate. Of course if you're running
compilers, then 2.4Mb is not adequate, although I have also used QuickC in
that space as well.
	Let me know if you want to fit any of the above packages for T1000SE
use.
