[comp.sys.workstations was having some problems sending mail into
netnews.  Due to the fact that most of the mail is now quite old I
have to fudge the Date: headers to keep things in netnews.  The old
date is

I'll include the correct date for any messages I have to change like
this. -ds] 

I am doing a survey of current lap top computers.  If you have any
information, or can give me pointers to review articles, or can
comment on specific products, I would appreciate your help.  I am not
on the dls, so reply to me directly.  I will summarize back to the dls
if there is enough interest expressed.

Please forward to any other dls which might be able to help.

Points to comment on:

1.  Physical parameters: size, weight, display type, built-in mass
storage, built-in modem, built-in printer, battery internal or
external, period of operation on battery, A/C power converter
availability, etc.

2.  Software/CPU parameters: CPU, bytes of RAM, operating system and
compatibility, operating speed, software included (i.e.
Wordprocessing, spread sheets, modem programs, etc.).

3.  Manufacturers/Distributors, including phone # and/or address, if
possible (so I can go straight to the horse's a** (oops) mouth if I
want to).

4.  Price or price range.

5.  Can the system function as a fax, either through software or
hardware?

6.  Options: external monitor, external printer, external keyboard,
external mass storage, more memory, etc.

6.  Anything else I haven't covered that you think is significant.

Thanks in advance,
Cheryl
