You are killing me here — I remember all that stuff.

I’m too young to remember these things. Sometimes I wish I was old. This is one of those times.

I still have the Olympia daisy wheel typewriter that I had interfaced with my Osborne, (Serial # 5,XXX) that I sent to the dump, instead of the Smithsoniam a couple of years ago... CPM sure got shoved aside by DOS!!!

Those Kaypros had way too big of a screen!!! However, I interfaced my Osborne with a 12 inch amber monitor, just to keep ahead of them Kaypro'ers... What fun!!!

Ronnie was still President of a respectable USA, then, too... (sob)

256k computer. LOL. I was in the excess inventory business in the 90’s and in one of my purchases I picked up (7) 1Gig Hard drives. They were huge

At the time I thought “Who the hell is going to need these things?” 1Gig? Oh well, I got em free. I called some friends who pointed me in the right direction and sold them for $900 a piece. I thought “Those things are stupid”.

And today I can buy an 16gig flash drive,that is portable, or 80 bucks!
