I beg to differ.  I had one in a plastic bag in the early '90's.  It was
very expensive but I would swear it was before 1992.  Certainly before
1994 - of that I am certain.

(I mark time by which company I started when :-) By '94 I was running a
small ISP and we didn't do product development)

They didn't become widely available until the late '90s, I agree.
