Every other machine I've seen had either one or the other or neither. AT&T hasn't exactly had the best of luck with their bigger machines, though (to put it mildly), and I was wondering what people on the net thought about the machine before I plunk down my Amex card. For those who might be interested, the specs basically are as follows: 386SX/20 MHz 7.3 lbs with 2 batteries installed (I think you can put either 1 or 2 batteries in the machine -- when you buy the machine you get 2 batteries -- max 6 hrs of power) 10" VGA 2 MB Standard, Exp. to either 6 or 8 MB 40 MB hard drive (80 MB drive available "soon") 2400 bps modem AT&T mouse Dos 4.1, Windows 3.0, Windows Productivity Pack, AT&T Mail Access PLUS, and Safari TourGuide Connector to PS/2 Mouse or ext. keyboard Serial port Parallel port AT-Bus interface connector CRT connector 12" x 9.5" x 1.8" It seems to be the machine with everything.... Any opinions? Please post or email replies SOON. I'm leaving the country soon and I would like to take a notebook computer with me. -Patricia White ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EMAIL: pwhite@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu | "It only takes 20 years for a USNAIL: 418 Schapiro Hall | liberal to become a conservative Columbia University | without changing a single idea."
