LGR - The Atari Portfolio (Patreon)
Content
Finally got this one finished! Been working on this off and on for over a month and it's nice to see it come together. So yeah, at long last it's Atari Portfolio time.
And what a nifty little device it is, particularly for 1989. Arguably the first palmtop PC, with an Intel 80C88A processor inside running at 4.92MHz, 128 whole kilobytes of RAM, and a proper DOS operating system capable of running (some) PC software alongside its built-in applications. And if you ask young John Connor, it even acts as a quick ATM hacking tool in a pinch.
I've got all kinds of palmtops and subnotebooks I'd like to cover someday, but the Portfolio is one I've always wanted to start with since it really kicked off that whole tiny realm of personal computing back in the day. Hope y'all enjoy the retrospective!
