Osborne Executive (luggable)
A little more nostalgia during my cleanout of old stuff… this is an advert for the Osborne Executive luggable computer, from the February 1984 edition of Australian Personal Computer.
Be amazed by its 4Mhz Z-80A processor! Gasp at its 7 inch amber display! Impressive stuff, no?

‘Osborne in Australia has never been in a better position’
And how many months later did they go broke?

Hello
I have one of this computer Osborne with the original softwares. I live in São Paulo, Brazil. By 80´s I bought this computer from my boss. It was useless for him, but the device become my Teacher. Computer classes were rare and expensive that time so I learned by myself.
