I just picked up a 2000SX (40mb) on Friday. The display is very, very,
crisp. It is a little small (about an inch less wide than the 1200XE),
but it is a little longer (not quite an inch).

I've signed on to the Toshiba BBS, and they have not said anything
about this, so I don't believe it's in the works for the near term.
Of course, I could be wrong. It would definitely be nice, but of course
if you could buy a 1200XE with VGA, how many people would go for the
2000SX?

Toshiba is selling a 20mb->40mb upgrade for the 1200XE. Both the 1200XE
and 2000SX are currently offered with 40mb drives.
