Well - it wasn't non-descript at the time! It had a full-size (80x25) LCD
display and WAS the first >truly< portable PC compatible - depending what
you meant by truly of course. Compaq and Olivetti (and Zenith?)
had luggable things compared to which the DG1 was extremely
elegant, especially with the rather smart beige/brown DG trim. At the
time it had "buy me" written all over it.
