List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: The first machine I had was a Toshiba T1200 with an 8086 processer that could be turbo charged? up to 8 MHZ and a 20MB hard disk. It even had 640K of ram! It did not have the back lit screen though. That was an option I didn't need. If I remember correctly the caust was about $4500 CDN direct from Artic Technologies with the Artic internal card which fitted into that strange slot in the back and Business Vision v2.0 something. That was back in about august of 88. I still have it but the LCD is screwed up and the battery pack has given up the goast. Doug -- Doug Lawlor
