Or a Tandy 100.

(These things do have exceptionally nice keyboards for a laptop, I have to say. Not Y2K compatible, though. Watch out for that.)

Some happy hackers hacked the ROM and replaced the "19" in the year (which was static coded to display 19{yy}) with "20" some time ago.

What about leap years you may ask? The TRS-80 laptop family never actually did leap years, so nothing was lost.

If you can deal with the fact that they only have enough memory to store about 10-pages of text, they are pretty cool machines to write on.
