In the old days (when I was young and good-looking), someone I knew
took his Apple ][ and put the floppy drives on top and the small
Aplle screen (about 7") on top of that, and fastened it all up with a
luggage strap. He used to bring it to our Amateur Computer Club
meetings.

... and I've seen and used an old Compaq Portable - see
