Message-ID: Date: 29 Jan 91 23:44:10 GMT References: <666@synopsys.COM> Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 12 Cc: bumby Of the possible reasons proposed by craig@synopsys.com (Craig Cochran) in his posting, I think that the most plausible is that this is just part of an upgrade cycle. If anything, a little experience with a laptop opens the owner's mind to further applications. There is also a rapid improvement in the hardware. Although I am still hanging on to a T1000, I can see the value of replacing it with a more sophisticated model. -- --R. T.
