Feast your eyes...

...on this outstanding Osborne portable computer, circa 1982, a newer, more powerful, and way, way, way heavier machine than my own most excellent Model 100 but running on the same Zylog Z80 processor - at the blazing speed of 4 Mhz. And it had disk drives! Two of them! It did, however, require AC power, whereas my own computer ran on flashlight batteries.

The Osborne (this an Osborne 1) was priced at $1,800, about $300 more than Apple's current top-of-the-line MacBook.

Yeah, but it still can't match my Commodore 64!
