You can get a Toshiba T1000 for about the same price as a Z88, and you then
get a real size screen ( i.e., 24x80 characters ).

For another $200 or so, you can get a 768k RAM disk for the T1000.
Turbo C can be convinced to fit on this RAM disk if you must program
the thing.

For a while there was a special promo in which you got Microsoft Works
for free if you bought the RAM disk at the same time as you bought the
T1000.  Without the RAM disk, the deal was something like $50 for Works.
