Now, what I mean by 'Mac compatible' is that I want to be able to send files (data from spreadsheets, WP, etc.) back and forth (mostly from laptop to Mac) without a big hassle. So far I have been interested in the Z88 (Cambridge) mini-laptop because of it's price and size. I also am interested in Toshiba's T-1?00 series, chiefly the T-1100 and the T-1000. BIG QUESTIONS: Do any of you have experience transfering files back and forth between IBM-compatible laptops and Macs? Which are the best laptops for general use, Mac compatibility aside? Is it as simple as a null modem cable and some simple software? BIGGEST QUESTION: What's the best laptop for around $1000.00 (education discount included)? Please e-mail and I will summarize results in a veritable orgy or Mac-laptop information. :-) Thanks! Darren Bush (No relation to whatzizname) Darren S.
