   We have had 4  T3100s for  about 2  months now.   Our  Sales force is
   using  them  on the  road and  at shows  for customer  demos and word
   processing.   So far  we have  had 0  problems in  either hardware or
   software.    Compatibility  has  been  perfect  and  the  display has
   garnered rave reviews from everyone who has seen it.

   I imagine you got a lemon.  Toshiba has promised rapid replacement of
   defective units, so you should contact your dealer or Toshiba.

   Based on our experience, I would highly  recommend the  Toshiba.  The
   only  drawback  is  the slowness  of the  hard disk,  but that hasn't
   caused anyone  to complain  yet, so  it isn't  too much  of a problem
   unless you're planning anything very disk intensive.
