Hello ClassicCmp friends,
Right now as I type this an interview is in
progress on the
Coast to Coast AM late night radio talk show about
a supposed
time traveler who went back from 2036 to 1975 to
obtain a
classic computer, specifically IBM 5100. Needless
to say,
this story got me highly intrigued.
Since I don't really know anything about the
machine in question,
I thought I would ask the collective list wisdom.
There must have
been something really special about IBM 5100 for
them to go back
for it from 2036. Does anyone know anything about
that machine?
MS
Vintage 1976, IBM's first "portable
computer", about 50 pounds,
no handles. The one I have is still in working
condition.
Cheers
Charlie Fox
