In case you wondered what those 2 inch floppies looked like: http://www.retrothing.com/2006/05/oddball_micros_.html
Thanks for the share. I found a few pictures of them, but none of them were very clear, and I decided to put only a picture of the Zenith Minisport itself.

But it definitely is interesting to see those tiny two inch floppies.

The Zenith Minisport actually sounds like a pretty fascinating computer. It's too bad that it wasn't ever that popular.

I actually used a Compaq portable in the summer of 1984. I had a summer job at a place that had one. It was kind of mind bending to have a reasonably powerful computer that you could carry around. "Carry" had not previously been a verb one associated with computers, any more than one does now with, say, desks.
