I received so many responses on that TI TravelMate 2000 posting, that I
thought a followup summation would be in order--Thanks everyone for the help!

First, it was NOT the TM2000, but the TravelMate LT286/Model 12.  As far as
I can tell, the general capabilities are the same but the LT286, at 6.7lbs
is a bit heavier, and not so sexy-sleek looking.  But hey, for the extra
$600-900, I can cover my gym fees for years.  Same 8 1/2x11 footprint, but 
thicker than the 2000.  Anyway, after I received the postings and looked
in a Cmputer Shopper, I decided it was a pretty good deal for a 286/12Mhz
laptop with floppy drive and 1MByte RAM, headed back to BizMart and bought
*THE LAST ONE* at $999.99--apparently they were closing out the line.  

Sorry about the mistaken ID on the system.  The less-than -knowledgeable
sales clerk handed me the wrong literature.  For all of you who were interested
in buying one, as I said I got the last one.  BUT Bizmart is, I believe, a 
multi-city chain, so perhaps they are closing out elsewhere, too.  The 
Albuquerque number is 505-889-9696, if any of you are still interested in the
LT286 rather than the TravleMate 2000.  Their price on the TM2000 and TM3000
was nothing to get excited about, by the way--I saw those systems a lot
cheaper by mail order.

Thanks again for all the help--I'm terribly excited about my newfound ability 
to write reports, proposals, run the occasional calculation, etc., whilst
away from the SunSparc and PC's (Reports? Proposals? On vacation? Oh, yeah,
this WAS a smart idea :-) !)
