More ancient history

In my search of odd boxes tucked into the top shelves of closets today, I found a box of magazines from 1985 and up called PROFILES: The Magazine for Kaypro Users. (Kaypro was an early home computer that used an operating system called CPM.)

Two headlines on different covers made me chuckle (and there will probably be more, but I haven't looked at them all):

From June 1986: "CD-ROMs: New mass storage medium on the horizon."

And from August 1987: "The 386: More Power to You."


(If you don't know what "the 386" means, you are just a young whipper snapper.)
