My 701C was my "daily driver" until about six months ago when I got the urge to build the P133 desktop, with Win95B. Couple of weeks ago - I realized I wasn't all that happy using it and pulled the old 701C out. I realized at that time that for all the stuff I use, the 701C was just right. A little slow perhaps in comparison to the P133, but it eats up almost no desktop space in my apartment. It runs MS-Office Professional, Agent, Netscape and Aldus Pagemaker 6.0. Like you - I was on the "hamster wheel", buying new stuff and always looking for the latest and best. I know the 701C won't last forever, but the great IBM warranty still runs to this September. Maybe then I'll look for something else, then again, maybe not. The most used program on this machine is Agent (for mail and news) and the 701C doesn't strain with running it. Be sure to let us know how the "retro" to 3.11 goes. -- Stan Mocek mocek@ibm.net
