Remembering the true* first portable computer The Register

Rumor has it that William Donzelli may have mentioned these words: Prolly due to security clearances... Despite the fact that dollars to doughnuts it could prolly be hacked in about 12 seconds flat nowadays, there's still things I can be jailed for life (or worse... but I doubt it would come to that ;-) under the charge of treason if I disclosed in public, AFAIK. In class where I learned about these items I'm not telling you about, we weren't allowed to take any form of physical notes - things had to be committed to memory (mammalian only, not electronic. ;-). Last time I checked (with military personnel with correct security clearance) it was still classified, but that was at least a decade ago. Not to worry - of what I speak is on topic - it was my first taste of papertape after all... and that's all I'll say. ;-) Now back to drinking Tequila & looking for the black helicopters on the horizon...
