Early 1980s laptop.

I don't remember those being that heavy... Surprised he can lift it and that table would support it.

What do you expect from a brain damaged tic-toker

Perhaps he was adding a little humour.

I had one of those Osbornes. They were heavy. Two 360 kB 5.25" floppy disks. CPM operating system. The screen was only 51 characters wide so if you created a normal length line of 80 characters you had to scroll horizontally to read a line. I probably wrote a 100 magazine articles on it and it was a real pain to proof read them. I was so glad when better machines came along. They were very expensive at the time.

My dad was a computer teacher at the high school, and when I was a younger kid, I think he brought either this computer, or one very similar to it home and my brother and I played some games on this computer. I remember the dual drives and a tiny screen. That would have been around 87-89.

My first computer in 1981, using VisiCalc software with a dot-matrix printer.
