On the Osborne 1, Lee Felsenstein designed in a connector for external battery power! ?When queried about how large the battery would be, Lee

answered, "How big is your CAR? ?It is not intended for portable use on batteries." ? I thought that that interchange was on Computer Chronicles, but I can't find it. So, he wasn't competing for the "first ridiculous laptop" title. (BTW, Lee was driving a 1977 Honda Accord) -- Grumpy Ol' Fred ? ? ???????????????? cisin at xenosoft.com
