How can there be a list of early personal computers without mentioning Osborne? I first saw one in 1981 or 1982 when a client brought one in to my real estate office. I had an Apple II+ for doing spreadsheet projections, after years of doing them by hand with a calculator and a pencil with an eraser. But a computer you could CARRY with you, oh man the future had arrived.
