In 1983, Compaq shocked the personal computer world with the release of their first product: The Compaq Portable. An IBM-compatible machine that you could carry around with you. It was a major success, and put Compaq on the map for years to come. Today's video documents my experience with trying to get one of these machines found in the trash working again!
