Podunk Junction happens to be in central Iowa. I could steer Sam to
someone I know near there who has two Kaypro 10s and a Kaypro letter
quality printer, which will get him started.
Does Stephen own a Dauphin? I don't think they're quite old enough
for the "classic" definition.

Dauphin is a small city in central Manitoba with a small community
college near where I am planning on retiring to in some 2 1/2 years -with
my collection.(yes Virginia they do have an ISPor a satellite feed)
Podunck Junctions not so far. I could lend him some spare DEC RX50
floppies if needed. Hey a vintage computer mecca in the heartland.
And who knows what may be hiding out there after the 0-bay gleaners
have gutted the silicon valley trove.
