Went to the thrift store today. They had a 50% off sale if you brought an person over 55. Senior Tuesdays are the 2nd best Tuesday. The first is Taco.
Glad I did, as I found something I never expected to find at a thrift store:
I did have to get on my knees and beg for a small load, but getting 2x Kaypro II's? Totally worth me needing to go sell some blood. I know $200 isn't expensive for most, but for me, its 3 months of my "retro budget".
I've only taken a cursory glance at them, The keyboards tell a story:
So I'm open to any tips on getting these guys fully operational. I now have another reason to get a proper, "non temporary" inbetweener going.
Maybe I'll sell them to George RR Martin so he can get Winds of Winter done.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
