OQO Model e2Alright!Here is the LAST of my 2019 tech backlog!  At least from the things I chose to save and write about.Today's blog post is dedicated to the OQO PC.  This is one of those devices that seemed to signal the future of computing to me back in those days.  The OQO Model 1 was released in 2004, and the final model (the e2) was released in 2007.  There was a subsequent
