How about the Osborne 4?
Posted: Sun Sep 12, 2010 3:08 pm
Bit late in the week to be posting about it, but have been ruminating over the Osborne 4 computer for the week.
Buying points for me are that it gives the Commodore SX-64 a run for the money in the looks department if in a side by side display. It would be the SeXy-64 vs the Vixen. (pity this one for auction isn't labelled as such).
The other interesting bit, to regurgitate what's already on the net, being that it was sold post Osborne going bust. The interesting parts to tell about history are often how it ended. How and why models of computers or companies failed are why things are the way they are now and failure along with conflict makes for good drama. Why did the age of Aquarius never dawn ?...
