I've told this story before, but it's been a while. I
was on the Miata forum and there was a thread about what is the
biggest thing you ever fit in your car. It was quite funny because
our cars only have FIVE cubic feet of trunk space and it's very
shallow, difficult to even fit a suitcase. The front seats comes
out with four bolts and one electrical connector, so a lot people
do that for hauling (relatively) larger items. You can even get a
Miata trailer hitch. Anyway, I chimed in and wrote "ASR-33
teletype -- put the stand upside-down in the passenger seat,
machine in the trunk with all else cleared out" -- and the very
next person sarcastically wrote, "What, for a museum? LOL".
Errrrmmm yes. Yes it was.
If you had a backseat you could have brought home
the computer too.

Is this the first documented mobile DEC computer? MOBIDEC?
