Thanks. I remember a large grey portable computer from the 80's that was a very rare contraption. I know a guy who had one but I don't remember the name. Any ideas?

I think they had some problems with handwriting recognition and they were thicker than the the Palm products, making them more of a briefcase portable rather than a shirt pocket one. They were discontinued in the late 90s a couple of years later everyone was selling those devices.
