Which computer?

I found the first color laptop to be the IBM CL57-SX. Look like a beast:

None on eBay.


As far as IMSAI, I started this thread with a fellow that had _THE_
wargames IMSAI for sale on eBay. His name is Todd Fischer. Turns out, he
is the person behind Imsai.net. He has been mentioned in the "Fire in the
valley" book. I emailed him a congrats when I saw a blurb about IMSAI in
Dr. Dobbs and he replied that he didn't know there was mention in there --
but thanks for the heads up.

Pretty cool.

It sounded like the WarGames IMSAI went to a museum for a while or
something.
