One of these is not like the other.
I hope I have a rep for eccentric but not bad.
That was the first "laptop" I remember owning / using. It was probably at least 20 pounds but would not shock me if it weighed double or triple. It had an 8088 processor and that version was orange as the IBm version was green. It had dual 51/4 floppies which was smaller than the old 8 inch before. Modem in there ran at between 150 to 300 baud.
We called it "the knee breaker" because of the weight.

I took a computer class in HS and I believe the model we had was the Radio Shack TRS-80.
Wasn't much we could do with them back then or I didn't get much out of it.
Oh I did learn I didnt receive the gift to be a programmer.
Things have come a long way.
