"First"?? Hardly. (Was: My return to Classic Cmp - San Diego

[Evan Koblentz]

>>> Elcompco never claimed it was first, because anybody with any sense
knew that there were already a few garage-builts.

One company that offered more than just a garage-built was GM Research, as
described http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_computer

Slightly OT: few people believe that I'm writing a book anymore, as I've
been claiming it since 2002-ish, BUT, one topic in the (eventual!) book
will be a discussion of SEVERAL portable computers that existed
pre-Osborne.

I'll tell cctalk'ers what I tell everyone else: it will be published when
it's done, and not a day sooner.  :)
