I use a T1000SE daily at grad school as an electronic notebook. Use Wordperfect
4.2 with no problems. It fits on 1 diskette. The only time the single drive
gets awkward is during Print and Dictionary routines, where there is a lot of
flipping between drives A: and B:, which on the T1000SE happen to be the same
drive. But overall, I'm real happy with this combination.
