   I'd appreciate hearing from anybody who has used a NEC Multispeed
Laptop computer, especially the EL (backlit screen).
 
   According to the Byte review, it's VERY fast, but the built-in
software is poorly designed and buggy, and the screen hinges are
prone to breakage. Hence, durability is a concern.
 
  What are the differences between the EL and the new EL-2 model ?
 
   I'm also concerned about the screen's ease-of-use, as I have 
problems with eye fatigue after working with a regular amber monitor.
 
   Finally, I vaguely recall reading about software which allows one
to link with a desktop PC and use its resources (hard drive, printer,
etc.). In effect, this is a two-machine LAN. Is my memory faulty (have
I succumbed to overactive wistful thinking ?).
 
   I will summarize E-mail replies to the net if it seems appropriate.
