he got it from a guy who worked in the aerospace
industry who said this
machine was supposedly used to compute some kind of vectors or something or
other for the space shuttle program back in the 80's although i have no way
When I was in DC in the early 90's the "National Aerospace Museum" had a
Grid Laptop in part of their computer/aerospace exibit, and it was in the
Space Shuttle section. However, I think that one was a IBM clone running
DOS or Windows.
