 What is portable? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Portable computers include notebook and subnotebook computers, hand-held computers, palmtops, and PDAs.
A portable computer is a computer small enough to carry.
Portable and machine independent mean the same thing—that the software does not depend on a particular type of hardware.

 IBM 5155 portable computer
The Portable is not really a new, redesigned IBM computer, it's actually just the same motherboard as the IBM desktop system installed in a carry-around case with a built-in monitor and floppy drives.
This wasn't IBM's first portable computer, that would be the IBM 5100, released in 1975 - It was revolutionary, and extremely expensive.
The 5155 was IBM's response to the Compaq Portable computer, which was released one year prior, costs $700 less, but has the same CPU and runs just as fast.

 Macintosh Portable - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
The first truly modern portable computer was the PowerBook, but the Mac Portable was a significant step on the way, even if only to show what form such a machine shouldn't have.
Despite the machine's disappointing sales, it was a brave attempt at making a workable portable computer, at a time when it wasn't really obvious what form such a machine should take.
This means that if the battery can no-longer hold charge, the computer will not boot.

 Inside Windows: An In-Depth Look into the Win32 Portable Executable File Format -- MSDN Magazine, February 2002
SUMMARY A good understanding of the Portable Executable (PE) file format leads to a good understanding of the operating system.
MSDN has the "Microsoft Portable Executable and Common Object File Format Specification," for instance (see the October 2001 MSDN CD under Specifications).
The central location where the PE format (as well as COFF files) is described is WINNT.H. Within this header file, you'll find nearly every structure definition, enumeration, and #define needed to work with PE files or the equivalent structures in memory.

 Portable GUI Development Kits FAQ, part 1/4
From: rosko@zeta.org.au (Ross McKay) Newsgroups: comp.windows.misc Subject: Portable GUI Development Kits FAQ, part 1/4 Date: 2 Mar 1997 20:54:57 +1100 Message-ID: <5fbiph$g3p@godzilla.zeta.org.au> Reply-To: rosko@zeta.org.au Summary: This posting discusses many of the various platform-independent Graphical User Interface (GUI) development software libraries/ packages.
For the purposes of _this_ document, a PIGUI must support several GUIs under at least two different operating systems (so just supporting OpenLook and Motif on two Unix boxes doesn't count).

The hope is that Free Software projects can get a leg-up on proprietary VM vendors by using this library rather than spending large amounts of time writing their own JIT from scratch.

His words apply equally to the results of this survey.
"There is a lack of maintenance on portables, 2 lights out 5 months, furnace filters not changed for 5 months, then only at teacher request -- poor ventilation."

 Portable Battery
Since the Portable is always on (unless there is plastic between the battery and the Portable's contacts) when the 6 volt battery is in the computer, the battery is draining even if slowly even when the computer is in storage.

 Coat of Portable Classrooms - Planning for Trailers
Even if the dollar costs were the same, we must consider the students' affective, behavioral, and cognitive learning in a trailer.
To me, the conclusion is obvious, but the educational and architectural community need some sound research in the area of comprehensive cost analysis for portable classrooms matched with controlled studies of the effects of trailers on affective, behavioral, and cognitive learning.
The main reason that government schools must resort to trailers for instructional space is "Lack of Long Range Planning." Usually, state funding policy can be found among the culprits that force schools into the trailer business.
