Whan I hear "Luggable" PC/s IO think of Compaq, Osborne and Kaypro.
Never had one for freinds have had then. As I recal the Keyporo was the
most sducessful and becasue both the Osborne and the Kaypro were popular
and used the CPM operating system thare was a lot of Free software
that I could run on my Commodore 128 in CPM Mode.
