Kaypro 2x Water Garden

How I recycled my first computer. This CP/M machine was the most reliable and durable computer I ever owned. Loved it. Sometimes less is more -- hence my writer's version of a laptop, the AlphaSmart USB word processing unit made for elementary schools (probably made obsolete by the new school computers coming out), which runs on 4 AA batteries -- and my first set lasted TWO AND A HALF YEARS. How can you beat portability like that? What do you need to write? A keyboard and a brain.

I loved the Kaypro. With its green screen and aluminum box, I always felt like a WWII radar man when I used it.
