Recently, I’ve covered a topic on portable applications and I believe that more and more people would want to make full use of their existing thumbdrive.

One application that is not in the list of portable applications on the portableapps.com website is Skype.

When we see how sophisticated and sleek the laptops are these days, we tend to forget and keep on complaining about today’s laptop.

Personally I feel laptops have leap through giant footsteps to be it is today and when I look back I very grateful to own a laptop that is so easy and portable.

Today I’ll be talking about the Osbourne 1.

At that time 10, 000 units were sold each month and it was a major success as I could see it .
However by 1983, the Osbourne was overtaken by IBM and this model died.

So now, what do think about your laptop today?
I think you will start to be grateful about it and cause you need not have to carry a 24 pounds of Osbourne 1 on your back. Just Imagine ……

Ever get that feeling when you have so much data and suddenly one day your desktop pc or notebook computer fails to respond.

It sucks …… down on upside (reminds me of the last Soundgarden album).
