Osborne 01 for sale - the first in portable computing
Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2013 1:58 amRemember those computers that you could carry around like a briefcase, had a small monochome monitor, and was exceptional for its day because it could fit under an airline seat? Well, a lot of people don't and it's a real shame! That form factor for a computer kind of got left behind even though it predated the first laptop by a huge margin. I've been informed that my stuff takes up too much space (women, go figure) so I put my old Osborne 01 up for sale on Ebay here:

It works and is in pretty excellent shape give how old it is. I had a lot of different ideas on what to do with it. I even considered gutting it and turning it into a "portable" Atari 2600 for a man cave (that I never got!) because it would preserve the retro look. Anyway, if you want to see something cool, give it a look! It ships from Henderson, NV.
