Ok, heard back
from my friend Bob the Epson man. he says"Epson never said
that they made the first laptop computer. Epson said they made the first
NOTEBOOK computer. This may seem to be a Marketing word game, but I feel
that given that the computer was the first
portable computer about the size of a notebook, their statement is true and
is one of the few things they told us that was true. "
Must be true because you can easily fit, for example, an HP-85 in your lap (although
it's a bit hard to see the screen).
