We saw the same Action Retro video didn't we?

One would develop Popeye forearms gaming on that thing. Get in your arm, neck, and shoulder day while gaming!

I had a Toshiba Satellite around the time this was out. It weighed 12 pounds. That millstone went everywhere with me. Now my laptop weighs about six pounds minus the brick, and I might carry it from my desk to the settee. I look back at what our devices used to be and always think "Damn, I've gotten soft!"

TIL Epson made laptops. Having had to deal with some of their printers and scanners, I'm not inclined to learn more.

It was really well made, sturdy as few, and had very easy swappable components, Ie: you could change the HDD easily, the diskette drive and the battery as well. Lots of periferical connectors too, printer, cd reader, VGA, network card, PS2 for mouse, really it had lots of things. Came with w95 too and the whole Corel suite, a blast to be sure
