- The Powerbook is probably the better machine, but if you are living in
- a DOS/Windows world then would it not be easier if your notebook was
- also DOS?
-
- I own a T1000SE and am extremely happy with all aspects of the machine.
- I like its keyboard better than my desktop keyboard (an AT&T6312) and I
- find the screen to be adequate for my needs.
-
- By the way, there is an ad for the refurbished T1200XE for $699 on page
- 115 of the Sept. 7, 1992 PC Week I got today. If you are looking at a
- higher price, you might want to pursue this. (It is SoftCompUSA at
- 714-975-0538. I know nothing about this company.)
