We like ours. You might be happier with the new model, since it has a full screen (24x80) but 16 x 80 isn't too bad, and it's a lot more legible than the DG-1. > 2) What version of 123 is in ROM? Future changes? Version 1A. No changes possible with the old model. The new model, software in rom is totally unbundled. > 3) What is the going price for the HP110 and the HP9114 > disk drive?

I haven't seen prices on the new model yet, the old model is $2295, but expect it to drop rather drastically since the new one is out. > 4) Should I consider any other laptop? DG/1, or Sharp > 5000 for instance? The New Heath-Zenith is almost a spitting image of the HP. It sells for $1100, but with only 32K. Unless memory is super expensive, a better deal. It doesn't have Lotus 123 though, it has all- microsoft, with Multiplan, Word, Basic, etc.
