Thank you for posting this.

I powered up my Osborne last week when spring cleaning. I remember being so enraptured with the thing. Still have a user-group magazine that shows one was brought up Mt. Everest to keep track of things, for logging, and for sharing by three writers. I guess a Droid would be better suited for that today. I have it in deep, deep, DEEP storage out in the garage.

My woman would kill me if she knew I still had it!

Our C64 is still in occasional use - my wife used it to get her CW (Morse code) speed up to the 20 words-per-minute level. A program called “Morse University” did it for her. “SYS33330” and you’re on your way. It sends out Morse characters at a chosen speed; if you don’t type them in quickly enough a lightning bold drops out of a storm cloud and wipes out the 3 element beam on a house below. Cool, huh?
