I have thrown out most of my old computers but I hang onto the Kaypro that I got for $200 brand new, double floppies. It's going out, too, since I can't start a computer museum, but I wrote a whole book on it and am sentimental about it.

If the chart I posted turns out to have the kind of symmetry that most mania charts exhibit, we could see quite a decline in EBAY, AMZN, and maybe YHOO and AOL in April. Anyone got a handy similar chart for the computer/chip stocks (DELL, INTC, MU). I don't know what will send SCH down, since for a while people will figure that brokers make money no matter which way the market goes. PVN may have to wait on a genuine financial crunch of some kind.

Just thoughts.

Kaypro was giving Compaq a run for their money until MS-DOS and not CP/M became the dominant operating system. By the time Kaypro made the shift over, it was way too late.

I still have my Kaypro 2 with the 1 mb HD I bought for $600 gathering dust in my basement. I wonder if it's Y2K compliant?
