I remember it well. The boss took his “portable” (His was a Compaq) on a business trip. It became my responsibility to maneuver it (and all of the luggage) through the Atlanta airport. The cart hit a gap in the concrete and his portable hit the ground. It survived, but he lugged it home.
I actually have a later variant of this I bought for 5 dollars from the local computer recycle shop up the street.
I’ve got a Dolch Pac 62 that used to be owned by FEMA up until about 2 years ago. It still has a working copy of windows for workgroups 3.11 on it, without a network installed, and I can successfully play paint, and carmen sandiego on it with the internal speaker.
