In the era of the Sony Walkman™, it was inevitable someone would create a WalkMac. That's what Colby called their portable, available in two configurations: SE ($4,498) and SE/30 ($6,798). Battery life was about three hours. When I dig up more information on it, I'll post it here. (This information is from a MacZone ad in November 1989 MacUser.)
