- InkweaverReview 17y agoThanks for the share. I found a few pictures of them, but none of them were very clear, and I decided to put only a picture of the Zenith Minisport itself. But it definitely is interesting to see those tiny two inch floppies. The Zenith Minisport actually sounds like a pretty fascinating computer. It's too bad that it wasn't ever that popular.
- pg 17y agoI actually used a Compaq portable in the summer of 1984. I had a summer job at a place that had one. It was kind of mind bending to have a reasonably powerful computer that you could carry around. "Carry" had not previously been a verb one associated with computers, any more than one does now with, say, desks.
