thought I'd post a pic of one of the more curious items to see if

Dude, that looks sweet! Regarding your comments on flickr, I would
say that it is definately rare. You mention there being unfiled
newspaper articles on the bubble memory. I think reporters were the
first market for portable terminals. The TI Silent 700 series and
"Random Colleague" portable terminals fall into the same use case. I
think the terminals were put under by things like the Osborne where
you could use WordStar locally and have the power of a full computer
with you. You could still upload your stories by modem to the main
office.
