Does anyone out there have a lot of experience using Tornado Notes, Tornado or
Info Select (the new version of Tornado) on a laptop?
It looks like a neat combination -- a freeform text database as a portable
Rolodex, reminder system and note-taking tool. 
Any less obvious shortcomings or suggestions of one laptop over another? (I was
thinking of one of the cheaper Tandy 7 pounders, but not sure whether I need
backlighting or a hard disk.)
Thanks for any info, tips or idle speculation.
BTW, I use QuickDex as a quickly searchable text database on my office Mac and
keep wishing I could take it on the road. With InfoSelect and a relatively
economical laptop, I should be able to do that. In fact, I've figured out how
to convert the datafiles between the two systems.
