I have just received a liquidator's catalog offering a Kaypro 1 with Wordstar, for $200.00. Would I be making a mistake to buy one? I already have an Apple //e with an Applicard, but it occurred that having a portable CP/M machine would be nice. Yes, or no? Do I buy one?

Responses to my query tell me that it is most emphatically a good deal. I just phoned in my order. I've also been asked to provide the info as to where this liquidator is. The whole deal is a Kaypro 1 with 64K, two serial and one Centronics ports, two 390K drives, and WordStar software. The source is COMB Direct Marketing Corp., 1405 Xenium Lane, Minneapolis, NM 55441-4494. The price is $199.00 plus $18.00 shipping plus 50 cents insurance. Delivery is in 7-10 working days. If you want to order by phone, the number is 1-800-328-0609, and they take Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. Thanks to you who responded. - Dick Binder
