i use a Toshiba 1000SE around campus. it's the lightest thing that I 
could find and could afford. It's around 5.x pounds, XT with 1.44mb 
floppy, CGA and 1meg of memory. It has a nice feature of hard ram which 
can act like a mini hard drive, comes in handy when I'm not running 
DesqView and using the 1meg RAM. i believe it costs $1200, but I can check 
on that.
