    My EXPENSIVE DOS laptop!

    By radi0j0hn  |  Posted June 28, 2008  |  San Antonio
     

     

    Here I am working at a radio station in the latter 1980's with a MS DOS laptop that had around 758k (not megs).  NO lit up screen, no graphics, no GUI. I used it to print some programming schedules and write scripts. I was hot stuff!

     

     

    Later, I had to give it up as a trade-in to buy a 300 dpi black and white laser printer for my business!

     

     

    I also had a Radio Shack Portable 102, which I still have sitting around today! That also had an OS designed by Bill Gates.
