I'm clearing out a bunch of my stored stuff and gittin' rid of much of it -- finally. I've been unable to toss out my old 80s vintage Kaypro 2 in the past for some reason. Damn thing is beyond dinosaur. I checked e-Bay. There's a couple up for sale getting bids around $10. Oh boy.

I reckon I'll need to take it to a recycler.

Anybody have any good suggestions? (This lovely item can be yours, for the low, low ....)

Almost looks like it was made for service on Navy vessels. Has a no nonsense ruggedness that would look at home on an aircraft carrier. What would I know about any kind of military hardware, you might rightfully ask?

Wahllll.... as a callow youth, growing up in Roswell, N.M., I always had buddies whose fathers were stationed at Walker Air Force Base (now closed) about 5 miles outside of town. Every summer, they'd have an open house day and we'd swarm over the aircraft they had on display. I lost track of how many times I laid down in the refueling bay of KC135s, the older tanker aircraft. The guy who operates the airborne fuel nozzle lies on a mattress designed to keep his hands free to operate the controls. Been on plenty of B-52s, helicopters and everything in between. A Kaypro reminds me of that stuff.
