A laptop pc can be had for the same or less
$995 for the amstard with 640k and a norton si of 4
with serial port parrallel port and 2400 baud modem
free carrying case, manuals and terminal software

if weight is the main consideration( amstrad is 11.5 lbs.) then
i recomend the toshiba 1000 at 6.4 lbs makes more sense though
1/4 the power it is smaller and lighter and about the same cost ie $995

buy these from net people "People's Technology (503) 344-7969"
if you do ask for free goodies with the deal and you shall receive:
Free communications software, free serial cable, free carrying case.
ask for Arthur Ernest Wright.

ttyl good luck
