It looks like Adam Osborne, creator of the Osborne 1 portable computer, has died. Probably.
While everyone has to go at some point, it’s a bit of a bummer — a bit of computer history fading away. My family’s first computers were Osborne 1’s, which I’ve reminisced about in the past. Almost laughable by today’s standards, they were top of the line in the 80’s.
