- I'm selling my GRiD 1550sx laptop to get a desktop '486 machine that
- has the horespower to support my dissertation research

- Internal 2400 baud MNP 5 Modem

- This is a classic GRiD in the black magnesium case. It's been an
- excellent computer --- both for portable and desktop use. On the
- road, I use it as a regular laptop with the built-in keyboard and
- mouse and at home I plug in a full-size keyboard and use it as a
- desktop. It has been more than powerful enough for any use so far
- (including large spreadsheets, APL II, C++, and TeX), but I am
- starting dissertation research on a Ph.D. in computational mathematics
- and I will need more speed for that.
-
- Price: $1600.
