Oldest laptop?

Stormymystic · 05-30-2003, 07:14 PM

My husbands boss gave him a laptop, and when he was telling me about it on the phone he said all it needed was a cable and a battery...I wondered what the cable was for, when he brought it home I found out...it was for the docking port!!!

It is a Compac lite|25 (yeah right weighs 10 lbs without the port)
No mouse no cd drive, and there is no way am I using it,lol

I've got an old 485DX66 laptop floating around somewhere. Came standard with a 3.5" floppy, 4MB RAM (expanded to 8MB), a 10" screen, and a 100MB HD.

My grandfather's machine shop still uses Commodore 64s for some of the software they have... I gave him my old one, and when our neighbors were giving one away at a garage sale, scarfed up a second one.

With the C64 gone, all I've got left is the old 286 (4MB memory, 40MB hard drive). Those were the days....

Lets not forget the 8086. I used to have a Tandy 1000, but alas I don't have it in my archives anymore. I get a kick out of the little kids complaining about their 500MHZ P3's being too slow! Bards Tale? What was that...does it need a 3D accelerator...

I forgot about the Amiga. IIRC, the Amiga pretty much launched the whole affordable home PC era. Anybody remember Zork?
