The Osborne Executive was the successor of the Osborne 1. The built-in monitor was the main flaw of the Osborne 1. This tiny screen was displaying 52 of 132 virtual columns (this was done by scrolling), resulting in 2 mm high characters. The Executive had a wider screen which displayed 80 columns, though some critics said it was still too small. The characters could be displayed in normal mode, half intensity, inverse or blink. Two character sets were available, and independent windows could be defined.
