I picked up a copy of Mobile Computing and the editorial starts off by
mentioning several portable computers that were significant in the history
of mobile computing. Included in the list was the Model 100 (of course)
and the IBM 700 (I forget the others.)

The question I have is what was significant about the IBM 700? If it's the
I think it is, it had an external fdd, but it certainly wasn't the first
(heck, the M100 had that.)

So, does anyone know what the ed might have been talking about?
