Yes the noise is a disadvantage of the EL backlighting. I thought the same
thing when I bought mine. Brought it back, complained a lot (ELEK-TEK salesmen
are not the greatest people in the world) and finally, after talking to a
manager, came to this conclusion: They went and got the display model, took
mine and another into a quiet room and is mine was louder I got a new one....
Well...mine was actually quiter than the display.....Yes it does get annoying
in perfectly quiet places...but otherwise I've gotten used to it. Perhaps
opening the screen and modifying the case might help?
BTW: there are large differences between T1000SE's. I know two others that have
them (one of which is rhoff@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu, HI ROB!) and the keyboards
all have a completely different feel......

Yep it will run...I have a working copy on two 1.44M HD3.5" disks...
A friend runs his on a 2x720K drive system..works but w/ lotsa disk swaping
during compiles. I am unshure of the version of turbo C and the exact files
on each disk.....the second of which is only nessicary during compiles that use
"weird" things......if anyone is intrested EMAIL me and I can get more info...
School ends 5/17.....
