A question re my first IBM laptop

[julia]

Does anyone know the model's name? It was pre-thinkpad, gray, and had a small screen that popped up, like Wall-e's eyes. But it was a lap top. Screen was about 6" and it came out in the late eighties I believe. I'd like to get official and list my machines

Also, I owed the prototype thinkpad which I bought from an outlet in Woburn, Mass. It was a 386 SLX, maybe the 25 but I think it was a one-off. Not internet compatible. Got it in 1994.

Both are in my will to go to Bill's "museum"

If you had a picture, that would probably help too.

1994 saw my first Internet machine. IBM 486DX2 and 28.8 dial-up. I got one of the simplest email addresses then, that morphed in 1995 into my current email address. Time flies. ... JDH

Maybe you're thinking of an L40SX?

No, Harry. It was a grey box and half of it, on the front (on top) was hinged and popped up to be the "screen" with the keyboard underneath. I guess the hardware was in the entire back half. Funny looking little guy. I may have a picture in storage but not on me. Sigh...

Thanks! It was the IBM PC Convertible. I got it in 1988 and now I remember the handle. And it weighed 13 lbs. How time flies! Thanks, I'll add it to my roster now. Oh, I still have it... in storage, too.

I have a PS/Note dating back to 1993, probably a 365/25. Still use it because I have one MSDOS data base that can't be converted.

So it is still useful.
