notes: label: Description
content: This portable computer, one of the first to be compatible with an IBM-PC, has a tan plastic case, and opens to reveal a screen about the size of the keyboard (and about half the total size of the case).Two disc drives are behind the keyboard. A heavy AC adapter fits into a jack in the back of the case. The donors reported that this was their daughter's first computer, on which she practiced lessons as a preteen. His son also may have used it to create spreadsheets for the donor's business in the summer of 1989. For software received with the computer, see 2014.0090.02.
