Whups, forgot the 8^)

 Hmmm, maybe having handles isn't the best
criteria for determining if a
machine is portable. 
Hmmm...

Panasonic Sr. Partner:  Handle
Apple Mac Portable:     Handle
HP LS/12:               Handle
Altima 2:               Handle
Good Composer:          Handel
Amstrad PPC640:         Handle
Bondwell B310+:         Handle
Osborne 01:             Handle

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
 Commodore Sx-64     Handle
Kaypro I        Handle
Kaypro II     Handle
Kaypro16    Handle
IBM portable PC    Handle
Compac Portable    Handle
MAC toaster style Handle (yes on top of the unit)(Oops does that make it a
portable?)

(I couldn't resist either)
