If you haven't seen this yet, here's an interesting article on the history of mobile computing, including a nice picture of an IBM 5100!

I've owned 4 or 5 of the compaq "luggables"
I still have one working at my office... My 4 year old cousin uses it to play "Sopwith"

I love green screen graphics.

Take care, the screens of these old pcs aren't very good for 4 years old children!

I think my dad still has a mid-80's Compaq luggable somewhere. Amber/reddish screen, though ;-) And heavy as a pile of bricks ...
Looking at these old giants makes me appreciate my ThinkPad even more. Business travel has gotten a lot more comfortable in terms of hardware that you need to carry around.
