This was my first computer, a Kaypro. My dad bought it for his publishing business to do payroll, but it was outdated by 1986. Cost $4k: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Foldcomputers.net%2Fpics%2Fkayproii.jpg&t=665&c=fRAtWV6RKoTvLA) You could fold it up like a suitcase, so it was "portable"... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Foldcomputers.net%2Fpics%2Fkayproiicase.JPG&t=665&c=9xpPsD3OicT5PA) It used the nice big floppies, which were required for startup. You could switch disks once the computer had finished booting. There were a few interesting text role playing games, and one "action" game made entirely out of ascii characters, called "Ladder." I used it all the way up until about 8th grade. My grandfather helped create one of the earliest versions of BASIC and taught me the elementaries of programming, on an Apple II, I believe it was. By the time Macintosh came around I knew how to use ResEdit to mod games (before it was even a term), to mess with my Dad while he was playing Armor Alley.

Buy Bitcoin ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F05%2F16%2Fblob58e04f8763c4f26c.png&t=665&c=2IPzGSWtl3Snuw) I do agree with this image, I like the conveyed message, but I find a little bit misleading and intellectually unfair. What would you get if you had put your 20$ in 1y T bills (assuming those as risk free investments) rolling and compounding interests?

A good portable that one, shit all over the Osborne.

Let's put this in perspective. According to the 2015 fractal, we are supposed to be having a massive, soul destroying dip right now. Instead we are having a very slight wobble. I don't know how to interpret this in any other way, other than this is solidly bullish. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FBGMhc41%2FFractal-April-2019.png&t=665&c=uDpFJsgtpFLOnQ) BTCeautiful. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Perhaps its time to change history, say to hell with the cycles, and proceed to the moon. 118 days into the new BTCaby BTCull Market and all is well. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) A baby Bull, a slaughtered lamb, MOON, date of the start of the baby Bull market ..... all on one HAT? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

I'm ashamed but its maybe not longer as 5-6-7 years or something. How the F*** did I got in BTC ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Does computers you guys posting, never saw those things in my life but here ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Really? I had no idea. My father was given it by his work. I knew it was special but not that special.

The GUI on that thing was a demanding mistress. Edit: Actually looking closer that may be the lisa 2, I think they were a little cheaper. I'm an apple II fan myself, cause woz is awesome.
