[inforoots] Another thought about the laptop term...

['Computer Collector Newsletter']

Even though Gavilan's credited with trying to push the term 'laptop' on
people in 1983, I just pulled out the manual for my Gavilan and they only
called it a "mobile computer" through the 50 or so pages.

Does anyone have a *tangible* example of Gavilan pushing the term laptop,
such as an article or advertisement?  Or is it a situation where everyone's
convinced themselves that they remember it happening but it might not have?
