Portable computer pioneer Adam Osborne dead at 64


Adam Osborne, who co-founded a company that pioneered portable computers but met the same fate of countless future Silicon Valley firms that grew too quickly, has died. He was 64.

Osborne died in his sleep in Kodiakanal, India, on March 18, after a series of strokes caused by a brain disorder, his first wife, Cynthia Geddes, said Monday. He was buried Tuesday in India.
