I was gifted an Epson HX-20 early in the 80's. Considered the first laptop computer released. It had battery life of 30-40 hours! Basic, Contacts, Spreadsheet, Terminal, and Word Processor built into it. Offering a generous 16kb or optional 32kb of RAM in addition to a built in micro cassette storage; it was ahead of anything ever offered.

The famous Tandy 100 (and WP-2) series laptops were based off this design.

As I was young I didn't understand the full capacity of the device. However when Tandy released the WP-2 portable word processing device (battery life of 40 hours; 4 AA's). I snatched it up in an instant.

Here's more on all three devices:

If you can make this wish happen I would be most grateful. Thank you for your consideration (I know they are limited).

Tell us about them! On mobile here, owned several. Many memories to tell.

Into the void.

This map will help you determine which provider you choose for your service. The top tier resells their groups to the providers below on the tree. For best results subscribe to one of the providers in one color; and buy block access from another provider. This will help ensure that the posts that you need to download are complete. It also shows the retention time of each provider; however I have found this to be inaccurate; many of the providers host messages for a much longer timel

Important Note: There is an update to the provider map; this is 2022 if someone knows the changes and can edit the .svg file or provide the information it would be greatly appreciated.

Say goodbye acoustic coupler. There will be no more handset phone for you. The powers at be will let you be free. From this almighty twisted pair I shall get the best connection there is. Mother has lost; we can directly connect.

Does your ISP allow you to host your own server for a small website without paying for a commercial plan? I recently moved and my new ISP doesn't allow the port to be open.
