While clearing out my Dad’s house I found a few interesting tidbits out in the garage. Like this KPC-3 box. I was pretty certain I had long ago disposed of it, but the box was heavy enough my heart skipped a beat. I opened it to find everything except the hardware. The manuals were heavy enough to have thrown me off. There was also a receipt from where I bought it from R&L Electronics in February 1995. I paid $116 with tax…

And then there was this nugget. My kids all laughed and asked me why I had it and my only defense was that someday I might need to know how to drive a starship? I also claimed there was no shame in studying technical manuals, even if they are for not yet invented equipment.
