Har har, I swear, a brochure with the Royal McBee LGP-30 or is it LGP-21
calls it "portable". One person can carry it (well the CPU cabinet
anyways).
We've had this thread recently... :-)

I think the first one to "call" itself a "portable" was the

Portable Computer" - circa 1975 (although I think there might have been
a 1950s computer that also called itself a "portable" in that you could
move it around on a truck).

it wasn't the first
portable by a long chalk but which one does everyone remember?
Since the first portable was the Hyperion and I have a
basement full of them, I'm hoping that people have long memories.
