I drooled over the DG/One and the Kaypro 2000 - two of the very first true "laptop" computers. (No, the GriD doesn't count - it had to be plugged in!) Way out of my budget, so I settled for a surplus, but new Commodore SX-64 luggable, with a fancy built-in 5-inch COLOR screen! Did the usual Commodore stuff on it, then got GEOS (made a C-64 a reasonable facsimile of a Macintosh - really) and used it to write all my final college papers and even my first resume. I still have it (in its original packing) up in a closet - need to pull it down sometime and figure out why the video sync doesn't work...
