I have taken a look at the Toshiba line, and been very impressed.  You can
find models from old style 8086's to 80286's, with 640K RAM, to much
larger configurations (one has a 1.5MB virtual disk as well... static RAM).
YOu also can find internal harddisks, modems, etc.  

I dont personally have a Toshiba, but may have one in the near future.  They
make a great clipboard, and you can always run Word or WordPerfect on it, and
transfer the files serially.
