	Osborne 1 computer
		Released in 1981 by the Osborne Computer Corporation, the Osborne 1 is considered to be the first true portable computer - it closes-up for protection, and has a carrying handle.
		It probably wasn't the company's fault, since by this time most of the serious computer users were gravitating towards the new IBM PC, which had already been available since 1981.
		In 1983, the Compaq Portable came out - a portable computer similar to the Osborne, except that it was IBM compatible and ran MS-DOS.

	Osborne 1 - The First Portable Computer from 1981
		The Osborne Computer was the brainchild of Adam Osborne, a well-known publisher of technical books in the early days of the personal computer.
		The Osborne was introduced at the West Coast Computer Faire in April 1981, and was also notable for being the first machine to come bundled with a suite of software that included BASIC, WordStar, and SuperCalc.
		But Osborne Computer Corp. was unable to manage itself effectively in its rapidly changing market from 1981 to 1983, and OCC declared bankruptcy on September 13, 1983.

	Adam Osborne Recording (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Here is a recording of Adam Osborne from the West Coast Computer Faire in May 1980 commenting on the state of personal computing and giving Bob and me an award for VisiCalc.
		When he was a columnist in the late 1970's and early 1980's, he gave a yearly award called the "White Elephant Award" to the chip and people that changed the industry for the good.
		The tape was made by a member of the audience who held up a simple tape recorder, and then gave it to me. I ran some noise reduction on the recording to try to improve it, but you still have to listen carefully.

	I, Cringely . The Pulpit . Being an Accessory Makes the Man \| PBS
		In the PC wave it was the West Coast Computer Faire and the National Computing Conference, both long dead, replaced by the slick enormity of Comdex.
		It was a master class in computer crime and his point, other than to prove that Dan was the smartest guy in the room, was to urge the crackers to at least be more original in their attacks!
		It is not a good idea generally to annoy a computer cracker, but it is a very bad idea to annoy a group of computer crackers bent on impressing each other.

	Apple II History Chap 4
		The new company was racing to have the Apple II ready for the First West Coast Computer Faire in April of 1977.
		Armed with the idea that the computers would be sold to consumers and that their machine was one of the few to offer color, Janov set about drawing still lifes from a bowl of apples...
		Neither of those two computers were designed to make it easy to expandible to allow the addition of memory or more hardware, whereas the Apple II was expansion-ready from the start.

	Radio Shack TRS-80, Apple II, and Commodore PET Computers Introduced at 1977 West Coast Computer Faire
		The personal computer became established as a consumer appliance rather than just a hobbyist homebrew contraption when the First West Coast Computer Faire was held the weekend of April 15, 1977.
		At this event three consumer computers were announced that were packaged ready for immediate use.
		Clockwise from the lower left these were the Radio Shack TRS-80, the Apple II, and the Commodore PET.

		It was 1983, a critical, pivotal year for the computer industry, and for me. Saying 1983 to someone who really knows the computer industry is like saying 1929 to a stock broker, or 1960 to a Yankees fan.
		While the countdown to the West Coast Computer Faire continued, Dale found the cash, got the proofs, rushed them to the printer, then to the bindery, and waited for them, refusing to let them out of his sight.
		The West Coast Computer Faire, at the time, was one of the most popular computer shows in the country.

		The office of the future will more than likely be in the home for people who can interact with their jobs through a low-cost computer terminal and a modem.

		Connecting is the story behind the first computer hackers who, armed with only a telephone, a little technical knowledge and a lot of curiosity, learnt how to exploit the phone system, discovering how it worked and what else it could be made to do.
		It had half the parts and ten times more things than any other low cost computer, including many revolutionary ones that would set the tone of what a personal computer should be.
		At this time the [first] West Coast Computer Faire was being planned for Civic Auditorium.

	First Computer Faire
		This was the event that legitimized the the birth of the personal computer industry!
		It included the debut of the Apple II computer, as depicted in the Turner Network Television movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley", loosely based on Paul Frieberger and Michael Swaine's 1984 book "Fire in the Valley- The Making of the Personal Computer" (expanded and re-released in 1999 by McGraw-Hill).
		It has many ads for some of the local computer shops and manufacturers, including two full-page ads for IMSAI featuring the rarely-seen "Megabyte Micro" 8080 ad, and the "Complete Control" ad featuring IMSAI's unique 8048 Single Board Control computer, based on Intel's then-new 8048 processor.

		edit: er, maybe it was the 2nd Faire in San Jose, seeing as how the 3rd was in LA. Not quite sure since all the brain cells from that time have gone into fuzzy logic mode.
		It was always the case that downtown L.A. pretty much shutdown after dark and you were either stuck heading to an E3 party or back to the hotel.
		the feedback I would offer if asked would be to eschew the west coast part of the plan and play to one of the great strengths of the CES and hold their gaming event in Vegas.
