I am in the process of trying to decide which laptop to buy.  I need
something rather inexpensive (500-700 bucks) and an 8088 type machine is
fine.  I was going to buy the Panasonic CF150B but then I heard that
Panasonic is discontinuing this line.  I can get it from a few vendors
who are still selling it, but I imagine that it won't be around for long/.
I was also considering the Sharp MZ-100 which is a dual floppy machine
that weighs in at around 11 lbs.  Does anyone have any info on this beast.
Do people like it, dislike it?  Anyone want to sell a laptop with a backlit
screen in the price range I'm looking at.  Please email responses since I
don't normally follow this group.
