Portability (was: Firsts)

The IBM 5100 (and RS mIII, Commodore Pet, HP 85, etc.) is *not* convenient to tote around on a regular basis. I still maintain that any reference to portability IBM might have made (aside from outright lie-- I mean marketing) simply refers to not needing a moving company, air conditioning installer, electrician, etc. when moving the office. I cannot accept that anyone at the time would have expected someone to lug it around it with them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."
