There had to be at least one #osborne1 luggable meme out there. #retrocomputing
(The device I learned to programme CP/M on)
Portable wie ein Backstein und der Bildschirm so groß wie eine Briefmarke aber hey, 1981 war das ein Biest 😉

Coincidence? Maybe I'm predestined to own an Osborne computer?
Who knows ;)
"The Daydreamer" - a short movie about Lee Felsenstein who was one of the initiators of the #HomeComputer era in the late 60s and hat built the #Sol20 and the #Osborne1 computers:
Interesting video by saveitforparts about The Osborne 1
He does mention about the PSU caps should be checked before powering it up & then a view of smoke coming out of it when a Refer Cap blew,
So shows replacing them & adding a GoTek to it.
