Just picked up a T1000SE, looked around for an integrated SW
package, and came to the same conclusion you did; so I'm typing this
on the T1000 using the ANSI emulator in Works with VI.  The thing works well
enough as a VT100 emulator to let you read news, and that's the
important thing.  :-}

Most all of it seems to fit on a single 1.4Mb floppy, including
volumnious help files, spellcheck db and thesaurus.  I'm pretty
pleased (especially for the price) but haven't really exercised it
yet, so your mileage may vary.  Yeah, there's a communications
package, a data base, a spreadsheet, and an alarm clock, plus some
graphing capability for business.  You can open multiple windows and
re-enter DOS, but you won't have a lot of memory to play with on a
stock T1000SE like I have.

I like this machine.  It's my first laptop, so I'm no doubt easily
impressed.  But it's a great toy.

Cheers,
Mark
