   Whan I hear "Luggable" PC/s IO think of Compaq, Osborne and Kaypro.   
   Never had one for freinds have had then. As I recal the Keyporo was the   
   most sducessful and becasue both the Osborne and the Kaypro were popular   
   and used the CPM operating system thare was a lot of Free software   
   that I could run on my Commodore 128 in CPM Mode.
