Another quick old school game shout out. My father had a "portable" computer (I think Compaq) which consisted of one 45 pound metal and plastic case. A port slid open manually in the back for the plug (no batteries of course, you would need car batteries) and the top snapped off reveling on the reverse side a keyboard. The new front of the box was a tiny green screen. The game was Decathlon. It was the first game I ever got really mad at, the first game I stayed up late to play and the first game I missed when we got the C64 even though it was a giant leap forward. Okay, not that giant. More of a hop.

No disk drive, though... tape drive. Geez. Always wanted to play but never actually got to play Mail Order Monster. Sad. I always had my face on the puter? Geez, man... you had the modem and every apple computer from the apple II+ to the GS. Fo' REALZ! But your mom did call me floppy disk...
