Firsts

;-) Francois Auradon head-scratched, yawned, then typed: [nip] John, *all* pentium notebooks are bulkier than an M100 (under 4 pounds & fits in a small briefcase) -- AAMAF, the only Pentium based system I've seen that even comes close (and if it beats the M100 it's not by much) is the Toshiba Liberetto (IIRC) which was P75 based, 8M RAM & either a 540 or 850 Meg H.D. (Don't remember which one.) Otherwise, all of the Pentium books are the incredible hulk compared to an M100/T102/T200. Francois, The first laptops were the Epson HX-20 (IIRC -- or was it the PX-8???) and the Radio Shack (Tandy) Model 100 following shortly thereafter... The HX-20 had a built-in microcassette tape deck, but the Model 100 had a much larger screen. Unlike today's "laptops" (which personally I wouldn't want on mine) both machines had "real" keyboards. (tho I love my T200's best -- real cursor keys in a plus arrangement, not the chicklets in a row.)
