This is a follow-up to an article Martin wrote about a computer he found whilst helping a client move offices. It is surprising what you can find in the back of cupboards.
Whilst helping him find out more details about his portable computer I came across this video by The Computer Chronicles from 1985 looking at the then state-of-the-art portable PC market.
It is well worth getting a beverage of your choice and seeing what a portable computer was then, what they could do and what they cost. Then think about your laptop or smartphone.
It is also fun to watch the salesmen putting the spin on their particular machines and getting edgy when they have to wait to speak.
Have a good weekend.
