Title: Check out this Christmas Present!
Post by: AKDejaVu on December 25, 2001, 11:11:00 PM

The mother-in-law gave me a "laptop" computer for Christmas.  You can see the stats for it here (http://home.t-online.de/home/Peter.Kernwein/kaypro.htm).

Strengths:

• Forget "Titanium" or "Gold" video displays... this one has some kind of "chrome"
• Dual Drives
• Integrated Modem
• Easy Carrying handle

Weaknesses:

• Legs go numb after 3 minutes on lap
• Baud rate of modem does not need a comma
• Can't figure out how to get CD in the drive
• Having problems getting FDisk to recognize the hard drive

OOH Kaypro!
When I was in school we had one of those there. Finnish nickname was pilkki-palli (Fishing stool made of Styrofoam).

Kaypro's a name which takes me *way* back. Yes, I actually used one. 1985/86 it was, when I was working for Micro Business Systems.
