Bored.

There is nobody in the store, go backs are done, and I've restocked all the registers.

And I have six hours to go.

+sigh+

At least I get lunch in an hour...

Now that's dedication.

And twenty years ago? That "notebook" must have been more like a phone book.

Nope TRS-80 Model 100. The first popular & practical notebook.

4 pounds, 11.75" x 8.25" x 2"

8 line 40 character LCD screen. 8085 processor, 32k of RAM (max, the base model only had 8 k)

RAM based file system. Built-in BASIC, text editor and terminal program. 300 baud built-in modem. Cassette port for storage. :-)
Ran for over 24 hours on 4 AA batteries unless you used the modem, serial or parallel ports. That could reduce it to 8 hrs.

BTW, I got the weight & size info by walking over and picking mine up off a shelf. I used to use it *regularly* until a couple years ago.

Check them out on e-bay. And note that they still sell...
