I think it was 1989 when I bought a pocket-sized #Atari #Portfolio to use as a notetaker in uni classes. My #arthritis was too severe to take notes by hand and typewriters were too heavy for me to lug around (plus too loud for anyone else in the room).

I'm a touch-typist and even with that tiny chiclet keyboard could manage 40 wpm, which was adequate.

It did freak out some professors as, unlike those with heads bowed scribbling notes, I could watch the prof the entire time without needing to look down.

Fabulous little machine, ran on AA batteries. ️
