portables still offer a wealth of individuality.
Some more recent portables of note:
Atari Portfolio (1989)
Fujistu Poquet (1989)
Gateway Handbook (?)
Dauphin DTR1
Various GRiD's and GRiDPads
NCR Pen computers
Dolch Lunchboxes
Various ruggedized laptops
Don't forget some of the classic pen-based flops like Momenta, EO, and GO
Corp's PenPoint. Even though the flop era happened only a few years ago,
it was an epic period. You can still find some good shrapnel, but it's
getting harder to find.
I just stumbled on an interesting find (if you're a bit of a voyeur): the
GO Corp Alumni web-based mailing list archive from 1993 (before they
completely flamed out):
