Origins of term "laptop" computer was Re: Bill Moggridge died

Color portable the first I believe was commodores sx-64. Not sure about laptop but I do recall early color compaq notebooks with a color screen being similar with a huge plastic border and wondering why the screen is so small vs the case. Re:trs-80 model 100 I do see references calling it a laptop in some software ads, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Tofu <rampaginggreenhulk at yahoo.com> Sender: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.orgDate: Wed, 12 Sep 2012 11:58:34 To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts<cctalk at classiccmp.org> Reply-To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Subject: Re: Origins of term "laptop" computer was Re: Bill Moggridge died the Zenith Minisports may have spurred the usage of "notebook". It was about the size of one. I got 2 :) Incidentally does anyone remember one of the first color laptops/notebooks. It was a ~3" LCD in the middle of a much larger area! I saw a picture of it in Computer Shopper around 1993/4 I guess. It was a hoot!
