Hi Barb,

I could not agree more!!! I have an older (he-he,

2000 model) Apple Power Book at home. I love it,

but it is too heavy... I also have a laptop for

work and such, that one is newer and is a Toshiba

Portegé, which weighs 3-4 lbs. It makes such a

huge difference. That one is much easier to carry

around. At work I have it in an under the

wheelchair bag which is fantastic... Then even if

things are on the more heavy side, it does not

alter the chairs balance...
