Eeeeeek! I'd love to see that. Got any pics?
Nope. The one machine I have of that brand is my Exec, and it hasn't been
powered up in ages, though it did a fairly nice job of 24x80 (or was that
25x80?) on that little 7" monitor. Most of my work on O-1s though was back
in the 1985-1990 time frame, and I didn't take many pictures of anything at
all, never mind digital stuff. :-)

I
remember selling Kaypro systems at an after-school job in the
mid-1980s. We pushed them pretty hard on the "much bigger display
than an Osborne 1" selling point. I still like the overall design of
the Osborne, though, especially the little cubby holes for floppies.
That's very handy.
Yep. But it was also a kicker after I'd installed the screen-pac
for somebody
to see 104 columns on that itty bitty screen. :-)
