But COMPAQ's was first....
Anyone remember the one on display in the Seattle ferry terminal? Just
there in that display, man I had to have one.
Finally got one about 10 years later for 50 bucks.... the power supply
was shot and a replacement, then, was about 250. Finally junqued it...
I picked mine up for around $10 in perfect condition. I also got a nifty
nylon travel case with it. They can be usually be found at flea markets
(at least where I'm from). Later on, I was with Hans Pufal in a local
surplus shop and we happened upon a leather carrying case complete with
the Compaq logo. Hans saw it first :( But he needed it to carry all his
goodies on the plane back to France.
