I am interested in using a micro for some design projects I am working
on with a friend of mine.  We are trying to decide whether we should buy
Macs and use a product like MacDraw, IBM (MS-DOS) compatible micros and use 
something like AUTOCAD, or perhaps the new HP IPC, which I hear has a pretty 
good graphics capability.  

I would like to have something that is transportable, so I can use it to
communicate with  my office when traveling.  I realize that this 
capability may limit me to either the MAC or the HP though, since using 
an IBM transportable machine would still require the schlepping around of 
a high-resolution monitor.  

I definitely need something with an object-oriented CAD program available
for it.  Something like MacPaint, while lots of fun, is rather limited.
Any comments on this subject would be appreciated.
