what was the first color portable?

[Chris M]

to qualify, it would have to be mass produced, not
just some kludge ;). You know what I mean. In reality
though, the SX-64 may have predated the TIPPC. They
came out the same year, but according to
old-computers.com, the release date was 11/83, and who
knows if it could have been had in color at that point
(there was a mono version). Don't know don't know.
I'll have to do more research...
