From Andy:

I have been interested in mobile computing and small computers (in all guises) for some time. I purchased an original NEC PC8201A (TRS-80 Model 100). I worked at Apple Computer on software for the original PowerBooks and worked on innovative software and hardware for pen based computing at Go Corporation. I am an early adapter of all things related to iOS including iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.  You can view my “museum” of portable computers here.
