What a year 83 must have been. Finally you could disappoint the entire family during the summer vacation!
Also, is it the year of the mouse?

@fribbledom Nah! In 1981, the Osborne I came out. My dad got one. I was off to college in 1982, so not a drag on family time.
@lwriemen @fribbledom Oh cool, a luggable CP/M machine. Hadn't heard of it before.
@fribbledom If you've ever picked up the Osborne, you know it was heavy (25 lb)! My dad was a botany professor, and used the portable[sic] computer to collect data from light sensors in the forest.
One of the funny things was he finally decided to transfer the data from the floppies made with the Osborne to his Mac about 5 years ago. Gave me a chance to show my sons CPM and pre-hard drive computing.
