- | The Toshiba T-series portable workstations were powerful for their time. The rugged computers were built to be carried around. One of the main design goals of Toshiba was to make the computer a full desktop replacement, focusing on expandability, adding such features as a full quality keyboard, bright sharp screen, and a fast processor to do complex tasks such as working with spreadsheets and databases. As a testament to the build quality, the majority of the computers survive to this day. | + | The Toshiba T-series portable workstations were powerful for their time. The rugged computers were built to be carried around. One of the main design goals of Toshiba was to make the computer a full desktop replacement, focusing on expandability, adding such features as a high quality full travel keyboard, bright and sharp screen, and a fast processor to do complex tasks such as working with spreadsheets and databases. As a testament to Toshiba's high standards for build quality, and a large enthusiast network, a majority of T computers have stood the test of time and survive to this day. |
- | These computers are slowly becoming rare. However, their build quality, attractive orange plasma screen, full size keyboard and all-in-one portability are making this computer a collector's item of sorts. I figured, that rather than allowing this computer to fade to relative obscurity, it would be appropriate to build a support site preserving information, utilities and documentation for the use community to peruse. My only mission is to support these computers because I firmly believe that they form one of the milestones of computing history. | + | These computers are sought after. Their 80's design, "very retro" orange plasma screen, high quality keyboard and all-in-one portability are making this computer a collector's item. I figured, that rather than letting this computer fade to obscurity, it deserves a beacon on the Internet. I decided it would be appropriate to serve the user community with this support site sharing community information, technical data, utilities and documentation for everyone to peruse. My only goal is to support these computers because I firmly believe that it has earned it's place among the likes of Osborne 1, IBM PS/2 P70, Hyperion and Compaq Portable, as a group, form one of the milestones of portable computing history. |
