    I have the Toshiba T1000 laptop which weighs 6.4 pounds including 4-hour
    batteries, and does fit into a briefcase.  It comes with MS-DOS 2.11 in
    ROM, one 720k, 3.5" floppy drive, and 512k of RAM.  You find it offered
    in the computer rags, at least here on the West Coast, for $600-650.

    You can get an internal 1200Bd modem for it, as well as a ~770k RAM
    expansion board; the latter can be made to work like a hard drive -
    as long as there is any juice left in the batteries.  I have neither
    of those two.
