Definition: Osborne Executive


The second generation of the Osborne portable computer. Sporting a 7" display instead of the very small 4.5" on the original Osborne 1, only a small number of Executives were sold before the company went into bankruptcy. The machine was said to be instrumental in the company's failure because after the Executive's announcement, sales of the original Osborne 1 dwindled. See Osborne effect.
