TP 760CD Opinions?



Now that the 760CD has been in the market for several months, I would be
very interested in opinions on this machine from some experienced users.

I had an order in with my dealer for a 120 MHz 760CD, but I had also
expressed an interest in the Toshiba Tecra 700 CT, especially after I had
heard about thedifficulities early 760 users were having running Windows '95
(which I use) on their machines.  TheTecra became available first, and I
have been "testing" it over the past 3 weeks under my dealer's 30-day money
back (with no restocking charge) guarantee policy.  The Tecra performs well,
has a gorgeous screen, and overall a very solid feel.  In short, I'm quite
satisfied with the computer and have no complaints at all.. Furthermore,
although this will be a company-owned machine, it's hard for me to just
ignore what has become (since Toshiba's recently announced price cuts) a
significant price difference between the two machines (PCs Compleat sells
the 120 MHz Tecra with 16 Mb RAM,  an optional  4x CD-ROM drive, PCMCIA
data/fax modem, and a 1.2 Gb HD  for $5,600 vs. over $7000 for a similarly
equipped 760.

I have until Monday to decide whether to keep the Tecra or return it to the
dealer and join the queue waiting for the 760.  In the meantime, I would
welcome reviews, opinions, comments on the 760 from experienced users,
especially from anyone who might have used both the 760 and the Tecra and
can do a more direct comparison.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
