Tandy Model 100

Owner: T. Carlson
Location: Williamsburg, VA

World's first laptop. Loaded with 32K RAM. Built-in word processor and telecommunication software. 300 baud modem built-in. Great keyboard. Runs over 20 hours on 4 AA batteries. I still use it on trips. I get a kick watching businessmen use $3000 laptops to do simple text entry! And I'm not the only one. Here are some comments and stories.

• Tape Drive for the Model 100 (works okay with the TI99/4A, too)

Featured in the February 1995 issue of Wired!

There is a Model 100 Club. It runs a BBS at 510-939-1246 (in the U.S.)
