IMSAI 8080 I remember from 7th grade in 1977 and 1978.? I was in junior high in Palo Alto, California, and we had one in the computer lab.? Also had a DECWriter, a teletype, and an Anderson Jacobson acoustic modem that would connect to one of the mainframes or minicomputers at Stanford University at the blazing speed of 300 baud!? I've heard of the other vintage items you have lying around, Roy, but never used them.? Nice collection you have, Roy!

Interesting gadget,? there.? In this room is my Imsai 8080,? a Kaypro 4,? and elsewhere is parked an Osborne Executive,? none of which have been powered on in several years.? In a cabinet over there is a bunch of floppies.? And I can't remember the last time I used one,? for any reason whatsoever.? But years ago?? I'd have been all over getting one of those...
