anniversary of the announcement of the Osborne 1 — the first
mass-produced mobile computer. For years, Osborne has been most
famous for its failure, traditionally blamed on the company
having preannounced new products before they were available. But

a fascinating figure who deserves to be remembered."  The 30th

remember it!        No, that's just mildly depressing. Scary is
when you have an old receipt for one but you don't remember it.

Amazing machine, for the time. Of course it weighed a ton.     •
