Ahhh, "laptops" from before we had affordable large LCDs.
They pretty much made the LCD market, so that we now have affordable desktop LCD monitors.
I remember the Kaypro with the tiny 5-inch "postage-stamp-theatre" CRT.
This was back when everything ran it's own particular software and usually didn't have a true OS.
MS might be evil, but the advantages of a software monoculture are usually overlooked these days, since there's lots of disadvantages too.
And yes, I'd KILL for a Nokia N800 with a Psion/Portfolio like clamshell keyboard.
