Duel boot??? So the DSL & Winderz just shoot it out every time ya hit da BigRedSwitch, or what?

Oh yeah, I agree 100% about the speakerz/sound system of the Compaq 1210. I had one here for a while, before it was donated. Best sounding laptop I've ever heard (and that sez a lot, considering that I presently own well over 100 of 'em).

My portable inventory

My portable inventory

For vintage portable systems I have 3 Epson PX-8's and 1 Apple IIc.

For every day use I have a Apple Powerbook G4.

Thanks, Curtis...

Derek: the //c is not a portable. It's small, but not a portable. Although they did make an optional LCD and battery for it. So in that sense, it's the IBM 5140 Convertible turned inside-out. In fact both machines came out in mid-1984.
 
Aw, come on, the //c does qualify as a portable. After all it has a handle!

So do the Kaypros, Osbourne, and my 75lb IBM 8580 PS/2. I'd never be able to hold it in 1 hand tho. :^)

I can't believe that I have one Evan doesn't have. A Sharp PC3000 commonly referred to as a Portfolio II. Unfortunately it's on it's last legs as I discovered when I pulled it out today. :^{ Oh well, sob, sob, maybe one day I'll replace it with a Husky or a Dauphin Orasis.

I'm also hurt that he doesn't remember which Grid 15xx he has. They were dropped from helicoptors in Viet-Nam when you ran out of grenades and sent on space missions by NASA. Forgot the model indeed ! sniff !

So does the PS/2 Model 60/65/80 cases, but I don't think it classifies them as portable (I have heard of them being used as table legs, so maybe "Poor-table" instead)...

Hi Lawrence.

I only collect computers that are historically significant*, to keep my budget balanced**. That's why I do not have a PC3000. It's a very nice computer, but there is not any significant "first" about it.

Sorry to offend you. :) I'm not sure if the 15xx went into space, but I know the 1100 series did.

Also the Compact B/W Macs had Handles, and in fact were smaller and lighter than some luggables, but are not considered "portables". Weird huh? :rastarolleye:
