I spent last weekend at the European Vintage Computer
Fair
(www.vcfe.org) in Munich. I didn't take anything along for display
myself, but spent the time looking at what the others had brought.
I guess my favourites were the CP/M portables, since I haven't played
with one for years. Gaby Chaudry (www.gaby.de) had brought along a
Kaypro and an Osborne 1. I'm not sure how we ever survived with the
tiny screen on the latter.
FWIW, the Osborne CRT were surplus IBM 5100 CRTs! They were a major
reason that AO could build the Osbornes as cheap as he did.
