A display of the IBM 5100 "Portable" -- which is not, despite the name, a portable computer as one would think of portables today. You have to understand the context of the time to understand what was meant by "portable" in this instance. Think of room-sized computers requiring dedicated power systems and air conditioning, and then think how IBM might have marketed a computer that fit on a desk, needed no air conditioning, plugged into a standard power outlet, and did not need specialized computer movers if the office was being moved or reorganized.

This large, former ambulance is a forward control -- meaning the driver's seat is forward, above the engine instead of behind it. These vehicles, especially the hard-sided models like this one, are very popular with overlanders touring the African continent.
