A stopped clock is right twice a day. But it doesn't brag about it on the internet when it happens.

On the upside a stopped clock with connectivity is likely digital, so would have no way to brag about being right if stopped.

Ya know... when your assumptions don't match reality, the fault isn't with reality.

My first PC compatible computer had 256K of RAM and two 360K floppy drives. It could run Word 1.0. I added an extra peripheral card with 384K of RAM and a 30 MB RLL hard drive. Had the best computer out of all my friends, because I was working for an importer

Back in the day, my dad brought home a luggable -- an IBM Portable Personal Computer 5155 model 68 they used at RCA. That thing was a beast, with two 512K floppy disk drives (one to run the OS, and the other for programs!), a motherboard with 8 slots (so much expansion capability), and 640KB of RAM! What a beaut! And it was totally worth the occasional noise complaint from the neighbors from how loud the fans were then we turned it on...My first PC compatible computer had 256K of RAM and two 360K floppy drives.

The company that I worked for briefly looked at making custom luggables, based on a case that was available from Taiwan. This was nascent LCD display tech (mono) and there really wasn't more than a fringe market for it.

Listen, there wasn't more than a fringe market for the luggable, either. Common wisdom is that they only designed and built it to compete with the Compaq Portable, which also didn't really have a market.
