The 1100FD is an interesting little machine.  I have worked a little
bit with it.  It retails for $999.00, but educational pricing should
put it around $750.00 or better.  It comes with 640K RAM, parallel &
serial ports, a slot for an internal modem, 5 hour suggested battery
life, 3.5 inch 720K diskette drive, 3 diskettes with MS-DOS and Tandy's
DeskMate software, DOS on ROM along with the DeskMate wordprocessor,
manuals, and a small AC adapter.  Not a bad deal.

I have not had much experience with the software.  However, the screen
is a most interesting blue on green combination that is very easy to
read (CGA).  

It looks to be a rather nice product.
