Everyone thought it was a bowling phenomenon. But, it only happened to us
Portable and Portable 286 owners....



Yeah, but my golf game improved significantly. LOL

My first actual computer that I owned (I shared the Compaq with someone
else) was a Televideo (no harddisk, two 8" floppy drive). I got it in trade
for some work I was doing for a modem protocol company, where I could
actually talk on the same line as the modem tones for 30 seconds or so until
the modem dropped. Finally, I got sick of swapping floppies, went to a
computer show and bought a 17 meg HD for $450 (on sale). I had to put it in
an external box, and the cable was about 2 inches too long, which meant I
got a lot of crashes.

I suppose I should have kept mine, as it seems to have held it's value:
