I'm guessing the MacColby didn't take off because a compact Mac is pretty much portable as is with Apple carry bag (this doesn't look considerably smaller). I'd also imagine you would have looked like a goof dragging around a Mac that's trying to look like one of the ugly PC x86 luggables of the time?

Oh yeah, I did find a Compaq Portable III recently - but this thing has grunt, 386DX under the hood! And a bright amber screen.
