Cool site! Here's the first computer I used, a Kaypro II with CP/M. Thought it was epic.

I had one of those. I learned PCs on multi-user CPM machines.

I remember the Kaypro II. First portable that I used. Before that is was mainframes. After that it was history.

I worked for Computerland in the early 80’s and this was one of the machines we handled. As I recall the power supply was a bit anemic and every time the disk system was accessed the image on the screen would shrink a bit. Ah, the good ol’ days!
