  I don't know exactly where they were made originally but a place here in
Orlando called Godfather's computers bought rights to all the Columbia
stuff around 1986. Godfather's is no longer around but I may be able to
track down the owner or some of it's employees.

  No, I've never seen one. I've seen lots of Columbia PC portables though.
I still have one.
