I still have my laptops from 1997. First one was from the 80's
sometime, a DG One, which I was glad to find a home for. then a Toshiba

compact package that could run our full development board set.
There are some 17" nonames i have with Pentiums that I need to get into
that also have ISA slots and a full set of PC ports. If you get mugged,
you could beat the mugger to death with those things.
First self employed unit I had was a Compaq portable III. Full
workstation on it at home.

By 1997, my employer was... me.
Your point, exactly?
It just seems that in 1997 being self-employed and doing field calls
(I assume that you did) and not having a laptop was, well, strange.
