I think it might be one or two models that gave toshiba such a bad name. I
have a T2400 that has always acted just like a real computer, even with me
bit-banging the printer ports in Basic and assembly.

If you want to start a cursing-fest, mention the Compaq Contura Aero, that
one has some "special" things going on with its parallel port.
