"The Osborne Users Group of The Boston Computer Society, The
Boston (F)irst (O)sborne (G)roup, B.C.S. Zi/tel. Before the
ThinkPad... before the PowerBook... (before the TRS Model 100,
even...) the most successful little "portable" computer of its day
was Adam Osborne's marvel of a machine, The Osborne. How
"portable" it was was debatable, since you had to be a
weightlifter to lug the "suitcase" around, but as it could run for
an hour or so off of batteries, it made it the most successful "on
the go" business machine of its era. 1984: board begins service in
Dorchester, MA, running R_CP/M (Remote CP/M) Heavy Metal BBS host.
1986: First Osborne Group of Boston is merged into the B.C.S.
Osborne board. 1994: the Boston FOG archives are merged into CP/M
guru Jay Sage's B.C.S. Zi/tel Z-Node PC-Board to join the Kaypro
archives at 617-965-7046." - Winston Smith Boston Osborne Group
