One thing I might add about the T1000, is that it only has *one* 720K floppy 
drive, which can be a real bother if you are working with a large program 
like WordPerfect (I count the spelling checker as part of the program) or 
dBase. The expansion RAM to me would therefore become a necessity.

However, there are provisions for an external floppy drive as well. 

I suppose I shouldn't be so hard on the machine as it is a low-end laptop
geared at the student market.

By the way, Toshiba will release a T5100 -- an 80386-based laptop with a 
40 meg drive supposedly in January. Watch for it.
