The Portable Companion was published for the community of portable computer users working on the Osborne 1 and others in the Osborne line. The magazine was sponsored by Osborne and aligned itself with a variety of Osborne users groups.
The 17 issues above appear to be the full run of the magazine. If you have knowledge of any other issues please let me know so I can update my list. If anyone has an extra copy of the 7/84 issue to sell I'd love to complete my collection!
