The Sharp PC-5000 looks similar to the Gavilan, but comparing mine to the

For $5 and shipping, I got (on eBay!) a Sharp
PC-5000 laptop. No biggie
you think? Well, for starters, from what I can tell, it beats the Gavilan
out for second place in the Clamshell laptop race (GRiD Compass was first).
On top of that, it beats the Gavilan for: removeable program/data
cartridges (uses Bubble Memory carts) clamshell with a built-in portable
printer, and something else I forget at the moment.
Are you sure this isn't just a re-branded Gavilan? Sounds an awful lot
alike.
