My girlfriend's roomate then dated & married Adam Osborne who came so close to taking the portable PC world over then went bust ... we were all going to be millionares...it was a crazy time, they were so useless then but all the potential we see now .

Here it was, the the world's first portable computer , Adam's "Osborne I" in 1981 , what a little beast we thought so cool with only 64KB of memory and 4KB of ROM...thing weighed about 24lbs ! lol theregister.co.uk Went from $5mil sales after the factory got set up & roared to almost $70mil & was going to make us all rich stars....and then company crashed just as fast, stuck with backlog ran into major production glitches and there went all the funding ending it all .
