in 1981?
Doesn't that count as "classic"...

1981. Responding to a request from Severn Trent Water, DVW designed and
manufactured the first rugged handheld computer - the Husky, dramatically
featured on the BBC TV programme 'Tomorrow's World'. This caught the
attention of the UK Ministry of Defence, who subsequently awarded DVW a
contract to supply the MOD with rugged handheld computers as part of the
Rapier missile project.
