I had a very long affair with Toby-san, my T1000. I bought it new,
many moons ago, and it's still here next to me. I added the RAM
expansion module, and keep my favorite word processor (Borland's
Sprint) on the RAM disk. I used it to take notes at the last VCF East.
I added one of those little battery-powered "Book-lites", which I clip
on and use to see the screen in the dark. It's a great little
computer!
