A notice from PR Newswire appeared on a bulletin board at Newsday, a notice from the PR firm Hill and Knowlton as I recall, offering a very steep discount to reporters interested in purchasing Kaypros. And I jumped and a few other people who saw the PC handwriting on the wall, jumped at it. I knew it was wrong at the time, but... To the best of my recollection I never wrote about the Kaypro, I only wrote on it, but still - Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! :-( P.S. I'll bet Bill Buckley got a discount too. :-) On 4/13/06 1:06 PM, "Phil Swango" <pswango@att.net> wrote: > Wow! Kaypro lovers unite!
