those responsible thinking of themselves as "Portable Computer

I can probably find out. My friend's dad works there (and worked there at
the time) and my friend tells me they had an HP-85 at home that they used
to play Munch Man on. So perhaps he knows something about it although I
know he didn't work in the computer division but in the calculator
division.
