The firsts laptops used to have handle (I'm talking XT's and 286s) but I
guess these were removed to make the machine smaller and lighter.
By the way they are not laptops either; I always have to find a table to put
them on so I can use them. If I put them on my lap I'm always afraid to drop
them ;-)
I'll try not to insert the signature in the middle of the message this
time:)
