It looks pretty > nice, but I imagine that display didn't last long. I didn't have a problem with the display. I wonder if it will still boot? Considering the $1800 Osborne 1 CP/M 'portable' would be $5800 today it was a steal. Eveb relative to the laptops of the day it wasn't expensive. The IBM Thinkpads came out around that time and were pricier. A desktop would have been cheaper but my day job for part of the year was driving a truck. I'd take the winters off and go to southern AZ where I had a minimal solar setup so power was a consideration. The Pen Computing did work but I didn't use it often.
