Jordan,

I have heard good things generally about the ThinkPad. Why do you like it?

BTW, my reaction to the Presario after buying one is that the price is
good, but as I knew it's heavy (6.5 pounds) and big (15-inch screen), and
has no floppy drive. I did get XyWrite running in a 6x7-inch DOS window.
It's fairly sharp and readable. I can also hit Alt-enter to get a full
screen, with big jaggy letters, in case my vision ever deteriorates.
