	I have a Columbia Portable PC with two floppy drives and 128K
of memory. It will run Volkswriter, but it won't run dbase II unless I add
more memory. I have had no problem with it at all in running IBM pc software
level 2.0 or better that is).

	The only reasons I would steer you away from the Columbia are
1). The perfect series software that comes with it is miserable to use.
2). They were slow to release MS-DOS v.2.0, and may have similar problems
	in the future.
3). Other manufacturers of IBM clones are less pricey. (It's hard to count
	the perfect software as a valuable part of the deal. It really sucks.
