   Before I sell it maybe I should try to shame all other hipsters and try and use my Osborne 1 in public.
   
   Basically lug a 25 pounds "laptop", have to use a power outlet because no battery, fans running all the time, swapping floppies to type text on Wordstar with a at most adequate keyboard and a monochrome green phosphor 5" display.
