>> Elcompco never claimed it was first, because
anybody with any sense
knew that there were already a few garage-builts.

been claiming it since 2002-ish, BUT, one topic in the (eventual!) book
will be a discussion of SEVERAL portable computers that existed
pre-Osborne.
I'll tell cctalk'ers what I tell everyone else: it will be published when
it's done, and not a day sooner. :)
