 GD> Is there enough power in the laptalker to handle Word Perfect or
 GD> would one have to use a smaller word processor?

Grant,
     To tell the truth, I have never used version 5.0 or 5.1 of Word
Perfect with the LapTalker, but I have used versions 4.1 and 4.2.  It is
either a 512k ram machine and a 730k ram disk, or a 640k ram and 600k ram
disk, the numbers rounded off to the nearest 50k cause I'm feeling
pretty lazy right now!  In other words, depending upon how you configure
the ram, you have between 1.3 and 1.4 megs of disk space to play with,
with the 720k floppy, so it should be possible to run the newer and
larger Word Perfects if desired.
                                       Willie
