Strongly differing variations.

Although well-respected, it’s street efficacy is (rightly) questioned.

Founded by Morihei Ueshiba.

An early-1990s

A portable computer.

Clamshell, Full QWERTY-keyboard with a keypad and macro keys, authentic Intel 8086 hardware, true DOS, a task-switching application, and a number of GUI applications and productivity software. It is truly a portable computer.

  • Abandoned — HP decided to switch to the Windows CE-supporting palmtops in their Jordana-series of palmtops, even though the 200LX was still a moneymaking operation.
