Really? CNN never heard of the Tandy Model 100 or even the Osborne
'portable' computer. The Model 100 was a battery-operated Z80 laptop (but
no disk drive of any kind) with simple text editor and telecom software and
was introduced well before the //c which isn't a true laptop. I have never
trusted CNN for accuracy: a similar message said that Columbia shuttle was
flying 8 times the speed of LIGHT when it disintegrated. Do they ever check
what they tell?
