- ch_123 12y agoAn Alpha one too... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tadpole-ALPHAbook-1-OpenVMS-Alpha-Laptop-21066A-Processor-with-accessories-/200814581492 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tadpole-ALPHAbook-1-OpenVMS-Alpha-... (Note: I'm not linked to that auction, and it's over. It just happened to be the best set of pictures I could readily find of one)
- ibisum 12y agoThere were a couple of SGI Indy laptop prototypes in the works too, but I guess they didn't go anywhere. But .. just imagine this, all you althist'ers: what if SGI had been the one to release the tiBook, instead of Apple, and for a good price? Would we all be going into SGI stores and drooling these days? I bet that could've happened .. the spirit was there at SGI, even if the management wasn't. (It should also be noted that a lot of that spirit went elsewhere when SGI exploded: Transmeta, Nvidia, AMD, etc. Some good SGI talent even went to Apple! So .. there is a bit of SGI DNA all over the place these days, in fact ..)
