This is a really cute story for me personally, as an old-time Grid user. In my youth, I was a computer-ops tech, of the travelling variety. I was lucky enough to be given a Grid compass machine to do my job in the 80's. It was a godsend as a remote tech who had to go places and do things to computers while maintaining a security profile. My own terminal, my own stash of notes/profiles/logs, etc. All had to be checked in, after a 7 or 8 day trip around the US to all and sundry terminal locations. Damn thing was heavy, and had very little RAM/storage, all things considered. I was lucky to have a stack of floppies for it, of course, but that was more bulk to the luggage. It was one of the first machines on which I built my C chops, as a coder. I've still got muscle-memory for its dodgy * location, I think. I lugged the thing around for years, then .. suddenly .. back at HQ .. the Atari Portfolio. :) Instant upgrade. I still use an OrangeRedAmber as my term color. Oh, how I'd love to have a few Grid screens around to plug into things, it was truly a bask of radiative glare.. ;)
