	Kaypro II computer
		Kaypro's computers were an extension of their test instrument design philosophy: rugged, reliable, reasonably priced, looking more like instruments than the creative, communications (and business) tools that they really are.
		The Kaypro II is not the first portable full-size computer, that would be the Osborne 1, with its all-plastic case.
		With the entire case of the Kaypro II being metal, it is probably heavier than it has to be, and the sharp metal corners are hard on the knees, if you actually decide to carry it anyplace.

	Kaypro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early in the Kaypro’s life, there was a legal dispute with the owner of the Bigboard computer who charged that the Kaypro II main circuit board was an unlicensed copy or clone.
		Kaypro later followed their CP/M machines with MS-DOS-based computers in the Kaypro 16, Kaypro PC and others, as the IBM PC and its clones gained popularity.
		Kaypro's nomenclature was odd, with the numerical designations for their machines having more to do with the capacity of the drives than the order they were produced.

		Today, his company, Computer Conversions, plays a small but key role in recovering electronic data -- or evidence -- from damaged or overwritten backup tapes.
		The company also does forensics work ("I have a lot of fun with divorce cases," Tydlaska chirps) and helps people move files from old formats to newer ones, but when the client is the FBI or Deloitte & Touche, they're usually interested in the company's special skills with backup tapes, especially rare formats.
		In a corporate world where everything is increasingly digitized, but in which equipment is also increasingly obsolete, both the industry of computer forensics and people with arcane knowledge like Lee Tydlaska are ever more important.
