During that period Kaypro has grown from 50 to 606 employees."

 * "... the Kaypro II is one of the few portables or transportables with a metal case, and it can really absorb the knocks a portable suffers. With its industrial oscilloscope styling, it would take rather naturally to life on the open road. There is a slight nod to executive styling—blue pinstripes run down the sides."
