Found this dinosaur on another site, my only thought is the executives of 30 years ago must have had wicked upper body strength

    It’s 1981. Everybody was buff because the Russkies were still running amok.

    Or like a dozen interns. I mean, the Egyptians moved those big ass bricks to make the pyramids, I’m sure this is the same kind of thing…

    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’m just thinking that the execs also had REALLY good eyesight. That screen is tiny.

    Found one of those in the trash behind my old apartment. Damn thing weighed in at a svelte 28 pounds. It still worked, though.

    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.
