Description: The Osborne Computer Corporation (OCC) was an American computer company and pioneer in the field of portable computers. Adam Osborne founded the company in 1980, and went to work on developing the world's first mass-produced portable computer in 1981. Called the Osborne 1, it cost $1,795, which was a lot of money in 1981, but along with a very chunky computer – all 14+ pounds of it – along with a plethora of floppy disks packed with software. It ran the CP/M operating system along with a CBASIC compiler and MSBASIC. At the time, it was seen as a stroke of genius. Sales of the Osborne 1 began slowly, but by the end of 1981, the company was shipping 2,000 units a month – an astonishing figure at that time.
