(Now you can store twice as much) 4 Removable battery packs. Our school is selling the SE for about $1000, so instead of paying $275 for a 768K display card and $175 for an external floppy, I sold my T1000 for $550 and bought the SE for how much I would have paid to enhance it. (550+175+275=$1000) The only complain I have about the machine is the space bar, it is about half the size of a "standard" space bar on a "standard" keyboard. If you don't need the extra options/features now, I recommend the T1000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jason C.
