I still have a Kaypro II in the closet, 64 K of memory, two 5 inch floppy
drives. I worked in WordStar, Data star and a few other programs, used the
Optacon to read the screen. It had a wonderful keyboard.

Back in the 70s, I worked on a project designed to help deaf students speak.
The programs loaded with paper tape and there was 4K of memory. Programs
were much cleaner then, as RAM was so expensive. After all this time, I'm
still amazed at the utility of that project.

The first one I owned didn't even have a hard drive and the system board
wouldn't have supported one. This was in 1984. The first IBM PC to have a
hard drive was the PC XT and it shipped with a single 10Mb drive.

Well, let's see if somebody can beat this one. My first computer with a
hard drive had 2 10 meg hard drives, and everybody thought I would never be
able to fill them both.
