The best CP/M machine ever? was Re: Kaypro II

Besides peddling CP/M ports, Lifeboat for a while was the primary "official" retail and wholesale outlet for Microsoft. When Microsoft announced FORTRAN for TRS80, I needed some copies in a hurry, for a community college to use for a FORTRAN class. Lifeboat told me 2 weeks. When they didn't show, I called and they said a few days. When they didn't show, I called and they said already shipped. When they didn't show, I called and they said a few days. When they didn't show, I called and they said a few weeks. I was going to be changing planes in Seattle on the way back from the eclipse. I called Bob Wallace at Microsoft. He ran off three copies, and waited for me at the airport. Those were the first three copies. -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com
