Haven't heard of anyone with a broken screen on a Toshiba, interesting. They
seem to be built like trucks. I bought the Sharp PC6220 (same as TI2000) and I
love it! Small (8.5x11), light (4.4 pounds including hard drive and battery),
decent battery life (5 hours with add-on - 6 pound weight total with add-on
battery) - recharges in 5.5 hours, speed (286), screen (16 gray level VGA),
features (external keyboard and VGA monitor ports - floppy drive is needed for
keyboard port). It's thinner and a tad smaller than the Model 100. I'm using my
Model 100 case to tote it around in.
 
The PC4 is a Model 100 type notebook. Screen is SMALLER though but it has
power. Lots of built-in software (2MB ROM) and memory is expandable. Neat
system but I hate the screen size. How could they make a smaller screen and
think it would sell? 4x40 characters?
