Computing Across America – Portable Computer Review
Ever dream of just “hanging it up and heading into the sunset”? When Steve Roberts sold his suburban home and moved to an exotic high-tech bicycle, he set out to explore a new way of life — one that promised freedom, adventure, romance, and a “helluva lot of fun.”
In Computing Across America, Roberts describes the wild results of his drastic break with suburban life. Roberts’s story is a 10,000-mile odyssey of joy and despair, self- discovery, and occasional madness. His home on this journey was a 275-pound recumbent bicycle featuring 54 speeds, five computers — including a Hewlett-Packard portable and a Tandy Model 100 — three ham radio stations, two solar panels, and an amazing assembly of high-tech gadgetry.
