    I used 3 of those. That Compaq was about as “portable” as a suitcase stuffed with a corpse. Great machine though when you needed it!

    I miss the green and black screen though.

      Yes! Green and black is still my favorite. That’s how I set up the terminal and editors even now! I never had any of those back in 1985. Too expensive for my parents to subsidize!
