  Title edited to preempt confusion with the other computer-pioneery Kay.

  "Dude, give me a Kaypro 64 and a live dial tone and I can do anything!"

  Thanks for all the lugables. I have a Kaypro IIx somewhere in my collection, although I think I'm still missing software/bootdisks for it. I tried getting a boot disk on eBay a few years ago but I think something happened and the order was cancelled. Anyone have Kaypro IIx disks they don't need? Anyway, sounds like he did quite a lot in addition to traditional computers in those 95 years.

  The very first computer I used was a Kaypro. I didn't start programming until I got a Wyse AT though.

  Played with some Big Blue Disk demos on that machine he is pictured with.
