The Ultimate Notebook PC of 1989 - Tandy 1100FD

With its low cost, light weight, and lightning-quick access to DOS, the DeskMate GUI, and a word processor with spelling checker in ROM, the Tandy 1100FD was the ultimate notebook computer of 1989 -- or so claimed Radio Shack. But is it worth owning today as a vintage PC?

I also discuss its successor, the Tandy 1110HD, and fraternal twin, the Panasonic Business Partner 150 (CF-150B).
