He also said at the end, "No reasonable offer refused." Just curious,
what would you consider to be a reasonable offer for one of these. Or
perhaps more to the point, exactly what is one of these? ;)
The DG/One was a fairly non-descript early 8086 laptop. According to DG's
website, it was the "first truly portable" PC and they made 43,000 of
them:

I don't know what a reasonable offer would be, but it's apparently more
than the $15 I offered :-)
GRiD's clamshell-style Compass laptop preceded the DG/One by a couple of
years (and the GRiD is *much* cooler, IMHO). Perhaps the DG/One was the
first battery-powered PC-compatible laptop? I can't think of an earlier
one of the top of my head.

He wants $500 for it. Such a deal :-)
