1928 Atlantic hurricane season

The 1928 Atlantic hurricane season was a near average hurricane season in which seven tropical cyclones developed. Of these, six intensified into a tropical storm and four further strengthened into hurricanes. One hurricane deepened into a major hurricane, which is Category 3 or higher on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson scale. The first system, the Fort Pierce hurricane, developed near the Lesser Antilles on August 3. The storm crossed the Bahamas and made landfall in Florida. Two fatalities and approximately $235,000 in damage was reported. A few days after the first storm developed, the Haiti hurricane, formed near the southern Windward Islands on August 7. The storm went on to strike Haiti, Cuba, and Florida. This storm left about $2 million in damage and at least 210 deaths. Impacts from the third system are unknown.

The most significant storm of the season, the Okeechobee hurricane, struck Puerto Rico as a Category 5 hurricane. Several islands of the Greater and Lesser Antilles suffered "great destruction", especially Guadeloupe and Puerto Rico. The storm then crossed the Bahamas as a Category 4 hurricane, leaving deaths and severe damage on some islands. Also as a Category 4, the cyclone struck West Palm Beach, Florida, resulting in catastrophic wind damage. Inland flooding and storm surge resulted in Lake Okeechobee overflowing its banks, flooding nearby towns and leaving at least 2,500 deaths, making it the second deadliest hurricane in the United States after the 1900 Galveston hurricane. Overall, this storm caused at least $100 million in damage and 4,079 deaths. The three remaining systems did not impact land. Collectively, the storms of this season left over $102 million in damage and at least 4,289 fatalities.

The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 83, slightly above the 1921–1930 average of 76.6. ACE is a metric used to express the energy used by a tropical cyclone during its lifetime. Therefore, a storm with a longer duration will have high values of ACE. It is only calculated at six-hour increments in which specific tropical and subtropical systems are either at or above sustained wind speeds of 39 mph, which is the threshold for tropical storm intensity. Thus, tropical depressions are not included here.

Hurricane One
This storm developed from a tropical wave north of the Virgin Islands on August 3. The system paralleled the Greater Antilles throughout much of its early existence. On August 6, the tropical storm strengthened to the equivalent of a Category 1 hurricane while positioned over the Bahamas. The hurricane continued to intensify, and after reaching Category 2 hurricane strength, peaked with sustained winds of 105 mph on August 7. Shortly thereafter, the hurricane made landfall as a slightly weaker storm near Fort Pierce, Florida, at 07:00 UTC on August 8. Weakening as it moved across Florida over the course of the next day, the storm briefly moved over the Gulf of Mexico before recurving northwards. It made a second landfall on the Florida Panhandle on August 10 as a tropical storm. Once inland, the system continued to weaken, degenerating to tropical depression strength before transitioning into an extratropical storm later that day. The extratropical remnants progressed outwards into the Atlantic Ocean before dissipating on August 14.

In its early developmental stages north of the Greater Antilles, the storm disrupted shipping routes through the Bahamas and generated rough seas offshore Cuba. At its first landfall on Fort Pierce, the hurricane caused property damage in several areas, particularly in coastal regions, where numerous homes were unroofed. Central Florida's citrus crop was hampered by the strong winds and heavy rain. Several of Florida's lakes, including Lake Okeechobee, rose past their banks, inundating coastal areas. Damage to infrastructure was less in inland regions than at the coast, though power outages caused a widespread loss of communication. At the hurricane's second landfall, wind damage was relatively minor, though torrential rainfall, aided by orthographic lift, caused extensive flooding as far north as the Mid-Atlantic states. Overall, the hurricane caused $235,000 in damages, primarily in Florida, and two deaths.

Hurricane Two
A tropical wave developed into a tropical depression near Tobago on August 7. The system then passed through the Windward Islands just south of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. Upon entering the Caribbean Sea early on August 8, the tropical depression strengthened into a tropical storm. On August 9, the storm strengthened to the equivalent of a Category 1 hurricane, while positioned south of Dominican Republic. The next day, the hurricane peaked with winds of 90 mph. After striking the Tiburon Peninsula of Haiti, the cyclone began weakening and fell to tropical storm intensity on August 12. By midday on the following day, the storm made landfall near Cienfuegos, Cuba. Upon emerging into the Straits of Florida, the storm began to re-strengthen. Early on August 13, it struck Big Pine Key, Florida, as a strong tropical storm. Weakening slowly while moving north-northwestward, the system made another landfall near St. George Island. After moving inland, the tropical storm slowly deteriorated, falling to tropical depression intensity on August 15 and dissipating over West Virginia on August 17.

In Haiti, the storm completely wiped out livestock and many crops, particularly coffee, cocoa, and sugar. Several villages were also destroyed, rendering approximately 10,000 people homeless. The damage totaled $1 million and at least 200 deaths were reported. The only impact in Cuba was downed banana trees. In Florida, the storm left minor wind damage along the coast. A Seaboard Air Line Railroad station was destroyed in Boca Grande, while signs, trees, and telephone poles were knocked down in Sarasota. Several streets in St. Petersburg were closed due to flooding or debris. Between Cedar Key and the Florida Panhandle, several vessels capsized. Water washed up along the side of roads and in wooded areas. The storm contributed to flooding onset by the previous hurricane, with rainfall peaking at 13.5 in in Caesars Head, South Carolina. The worst impact from flooding occurred in North Carolina, where several houses were demolished. Six people were killed in the state, of which four due to flooding. Property damage in the state totaled over $1 million. Overall, the storm caused at least $2 million in damage and 210 fatalities.

Tropical Storm Three
A tropical storm formed on September 1 just south of Hispaniola. Moving just north of due west, the system brushed the south coast of Jamaica as a 40 mph tropical storm on September 2 before slowly beginning to intensify on September 3. The strengthening tropical storm reached its peak of 60 mph on September 4 shortly before making landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula near Playa del Carmen near its peak intensity early on September 5. The system deteriorated after crossing the peninsula and entering the Bay of Campeche early on September 6 as a weak tropical storm. Later, the storm restrengthened slightly to winds of 50 mph while nearing mainland Mexico on September 7. The tropical storm then weakened slightly shortly before making landfall north of Tampico early on September 8 as a weak 40 mph tropical storm. After moving inland, the system weakened quickly to a depression and dissipated. The storm brought 2.18 in of rain to Brownsville, Texas.

Hurricane Four
The Great Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928 or The Great Bahamas Hurricane of 1928 or Hurricane San Felipe II of 1928

This system developed as a tropical depression just offshore the west coast of Africa on September 6. The depression strengthened into a tropical storm later that day, shortly before passing south of the Cape Verde Islands. Further intensification was slow and halted by late on September 7. However, about 48 hours later, the storm resumed strengthening and became a Category 1 hurricane on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. Still moving westward, the system reached Category 4 intensity before striking Guadeloupe on September 12. There, the storm brought 1,200 deaths and extensive damage, including the destruction of approximately 85%–95% of banana crops, the severe damage dealt to 70%–80% of tree crops, and the roughly 40% of the sugar cane crops ruined. Martinique, Montserrat, and Nevis also reported damage and fatalities, but the impacts at those locations were not nearly as severe as in Guadeloupe.

Around midday on September 13, the storm strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane, based on the anemometer at San Juan observing sustained winds of 160 mph. The hurricane peaked with sustained winds at the intensity. About six hours later, the system made landfall in Puerto Rico; it was the only recorded tropical cyclone to strike the island as a Category 5. Very strong winds resulted in severe damage in Puerto Rico. Throughout the island, 24,728 homes were destroyed and 192,444 were damaged, leaving over 500,000 people homeless. Heavy rainfall also led to extreme damage to vegetation and agriculture. On Puerto Rico alone, there were 312 deaths and about $50 million in damage. After emerging into the Atlantic, the storm weakened slightly, falling to Category 4 intensity. It began crossing through the Bahamas on September 16. Many buildings and houses were damaged or destroyed, especially on Bimini, Eleuthera, New Providence, and San Salvador Island. Nineteen deaths were reported, eighteen from a sloop disappearing and one due to drowning.

Early on September 17, the storm made landfall near West Palm Beach, Florida, with winds of 145 mph. In the city, more than 1,711 homes were destroyed. Elsewhere in Palm Beach County, impact was severest around Lake Okeechobee. The storm surge caused water to pour out of the southern edge of the lake, flooding hundreds of square miles as high as 20 ft above ground. Numerous houses and buildings were swept away in the cities of Belle Glade, Canal Point, Chosen, Pahokee, and South Bay. At least 2,500 people drowned, while damage was estimated at $25 million. While crossing Florida, the system weakened significantly, falling to Category 1 intensity late on September 17. It curved north-northeastward and briefly re-emerged into the Atlantic on September 18, but soon made another landfall near Edisto Island, South Carolina, with winds of 85 mph. Early on the following day, the system weakened to a tropical storm and became extratropical over North Carolina hours later. Overall, the system caused $100 million in damage and at least 4,079 deaths.

Tropical Storm Five
A tropical storm developed about 835 mi northeast of Barbados on September 8. The storm moved rapidly north-northwestward and slowly strengthened. Upon turning northward on September 10, the system attained its peak intensity as a strong tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph and a high minimum barometric pressure of 1015 mbar, both of which were measured by ships. Shortly thereafter, it began losing tropical characteristics and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone later that day while located about 700 mi south-southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland and Labrador. The extratropical remnants continued to move rapidly northeastward until being absorbed by an extratropical low pressure.

Tropical Depression
A low pressure area previously associated with a frontal system developed into a tropical depression near Bermuda on September 22. The depression had sustained winds of 30 mph and failed to strengthen further. It became extratropical on September 23.

Hurricane Six
The final cyclone of the season developed about 740 mi west-northwest of the easternmost islands of Cape Verde on October 10. Moving north-northwest, the system maintained intensity on October 11, before beginning to intensify more rapidly on October 12. Early the next day, it strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane and peaked with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph. After turning northeastward, the hurricane weakened to a tropical storm on October 14. Around 06:00 UTC on October 15, the cyclone transitioned into an extratropical cyclone while situated approximately 285 mi northwest of Flores Island in the Azores.

Talk:Bachelor of Philosophy

Undergraduate B.Phil. at other universities
I changed "At other universities, the term "Bachelor of Philosophy" refers to an undergraduate bachelor's degree in the philosophy of an academic subject" to "At other universities, the term "Bachelor of Philosophy" refers to an undergraduate bachelor's degree". The undergraduate degrees referred to in this section generally aren't philosophy degrees; they're just undergraduate degrees in a particular subject (science, maths, whatever) with a bit of a research focus. 163.1.159.220 14:07, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I added the information on the Ph.B. given by the College of the University of Chicago based on my having received the degree myself in 1948.Davidbeneli (talk) 21:50, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Full form, etc.
I've no real objection to any of Jacquerie27's edits, though none of them constitutes an improvement, I think, and the insistence on full-form “it is”, etc., is rather antiquated (the Wikipedia style guide thinks that it's part of formal writing style, but academic books and papers have moved on (perhaps they're emulating legal language; I don't know). I've reverted one, though: philosophy isn't a place, so “nowhere else” is a solecism. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:42, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Anne Conway (1631–1679) was an English philosopher in the tradition of the Cambridge Platonists, whose work was an influence on Leibniz. I rest my case. Jacquerie27 23:11, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Er non sequitur, surely. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 23:20, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Er tu quoque would be closer. But I'm grateful for learning that philosophy has joined the trahison des clercs. From what I've seen of your prose, I'd advise you to read The Guardian (μη γενοιτο!) less and George Orwell more. "Politics and the English Language" would be a good place to start. Jacquerie27 16:40, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I am a student on this course at Oxford and you do not have to have an undergraduate degree to take the course. I received my offer with no academic conditions before I had completed my degree at Cornell University. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 163.1.140.66 (talk • contribs).

 * This is nonsense, I'm afraid. I find it odd (disturbing) that anyone on the course can have misunderstood the situation in this way.  Leaving aside the plain fact that the Oxford B.Phil. is (like any other Oxford M.Phil.) a graduate degree, as is stated unequivocally in the documents linked to, you admit that you started the B.Phil. after completing a first degree...  Of course you applied and were accepted while still completing your undergraduate degree — that's common if not universal.  Your implication – that you would have been allowed on the course even if you'd failed or not completed your first degree – needs evidence (evidence that won't exist, as the implication is false). --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 12:39, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

 * No it isn't nonsense, the guy who wrote that is in my college and I have seen his acceptance letter, which has no conditions and he received before he had obtained his undergrad degree. Plus there are a number of students, mainly from Germany, who do not currently hold an undergrad degree but are still on the course. Please see the following image for requested evidence: http://www.b4dn.com/offer.jpg

 * I don't think there is any need to be so flippant when rebutting the edit either. --Ash Rust 21:25, 08 June 2006 (GMT)

 * Well, "academic conditions" in that document is ambiguous. For all we know it could just mean that the applicant isn't required to attain any particular *class* of degree (eg. he/she isn't required to get a first). I did the B.Phil, and I don't know of anyone who is doing, or has completed, the B.Phil without already having a university degree. But if you want to insist, fine. (I don't know what you think "graduate degree" means if not a degree taken by gradautes.) --163.1.159.21 00:41, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * A.E. Housman famously failed his degree and was appointed Professor of Latin at London on the strength of published articles written in his spare time. Is it possible, however unlikely, that someone might be accepted for the B.Phil on a similar basis?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.66.208.235 (talk) 10:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I removed the bit about Northwestern University because (a) Independent Study is not required unless applying for an honors degree. And foreign language proficiency is required for all students in the College of Arts & Science, and is therefore not a requirement specifically for philosophy, but for almost all degrees, required at a school level. --kingabraham3 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingabraham3 (talk • contribs) 21:47, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Kaypro

Steel or aluminum?
I see in the history on the Kaypro page that it has said both that the Kaypro's case was aluminum or steel. Most definitely it was painted aluminum. The metal was about 1/16-inch thick, and if it had been steel, it would have been much heavier than the approximate 20 pounds.

I'm not so sure about that. I seem to recall magnets sticking to them. My dad had one when I was growing up. --Lendorien 23:49, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I have right now both a Kaypro II and the requisite magnet, and just performed the experiment. It does not stick.  Aluminum is confirmed.  --Blainster 01:55, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I might add that many floppy disk drives of the day did contain steel (a rather surprising amount as I discovered in 2020!) Magnets may have worked on models with floppy replacements or upgrades, or perhaps the original floppy drivers were steel and Blainster's were replacements? Hardly worth fighting about. 76.120.37.128 (talk) 20:08, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Why is there a link to Alan Kay here?

 * I can't seem to find any relation between the two? Why not put links to Mary Kay and Danny Kaye, while we're at it? - Unsigned User
 * I've looked for a connection and can't find it either, except that he is a computer pioneer. There seems to be no direct relation except for being a computer pioneer and being named Kay. --Lendorien 20:50, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * There are two "Alan Kay"s. The less popular one was one of the sons of Kaypro founder Andy Kay.  David Kay was the other son. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.136.42.138 (talk) 05:12, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Request for photographs
I've revised the entry, adding a few more details here and there and making it a little easier to plow through. Probably could use another going over. Either way, does anyone have any photographs they'd like to add to the entry? A nice one of a Kaypro 2 or 4 would be nice. --Lendorien 19:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The best photo I could get was by taking a picture of a poster of the Kaypro that I still had. The resolution isn't great but you can get the idea of what it looked like. --DJPushPlay 3/9/2005

 * Actually pretty good, I'd say. It helps illustrate the Kaypro fairly well. Placing's good too. --Lendorien 22:41, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Profiles magazine
Does anyone know much about Profile's Magazine? I believe it was published by Kaypro and ran from about 1983 to 88 or 89. --Lendorien 19:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It was published by Kaypro. my company advertised in it Scott Adler 08:31, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Profiles Magazine was published by Kaypro From 1983 - 198? I have 50 to 60 copies. The content was coding help and some hardware suggestions for the CP/M operating system. It was one of the few sources of information for computer use in the early '80's. Opwill2 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:41, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

I published 4 articles in Profiles in 86 or 87 - Profiles also included info on the KayPro IBM clones and associated software. I wrote a tech article on CPM screen control, an article on basic concepts of IBM clone features, and article on graphing in Lotus 123 (DOS software) and an article on the Reflex db program (DOS software). Kaypro paid decently for the time - I made about $300/article I believe, which was well worth it to me at the time. If you search someone has scans of a bunch of the issues. - Dan Schuster — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.132.65.159 (talk) 20:28, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

History
I was one of the engineers who worked for Kaypro from 1981 to 1989 (Rick Bartlett Gordon), and I made some history corrections. The Kaypro computer first started out in 1981 called, "Kaycomp", which many was sold, but at the start of 1982 I'm pretty sure that David Kay (Andy's son) came up with the name of Kaypro and convince Andy into renaming the computer to the new name.

 * I don't believe that any "Kaycomp" computers reached the market at all. I was loaned one for a day: It had single-sided, single-density floppies, which provided no advantage over the Osborne I. The KayPro II was the first commercial model and I don't know if any Kaycomps survive. I have a grey Kaypro IV someplace.

 * Answer from an owner: I own a Kaycomp model that I had to practically pry it out of the hands of the people at Non Linear Systems because they were short of demo units. My unit has the normal case colors, two vertically mounted double density drives to the right of the green-text screen, and an all-black keyboard rather than black with blue numeric pad. I've never seen another example of this configuration. It served me well for several years.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.121.124.55 (talk) 20:15, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

As for the cases they were made from aluminum not steel. We chose aluminum for many things one of which was FCC class rating. Using steel we would never had been able to receive a FCC class rating. Also it would have been way to heavy. I do remember that we made our own main boards on site but I don't remember if we also pressed out the cases.... I'm pretty sure we outsource those.

The correct name for the Kaypro magazine was "Pro-Files" but I don't remember when we stop producing it.

Does anybody remember that Kaypro Corp went from nothing to a million bucks in a year; and from a million to a hundred million in another year; and then back to nearly nothing because it rained unexpectedly in Solana Beach, and Kaypros were assembled in a big tent that wasn't exactly watertight? Richard8081 (talk) 08:28, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

((From Wendy)..Kaypro started as "Nonlinear Systems". My father, Richard Hofheimer moved us from Boston to Del Mar in 1959 to work for the company founded and owned by Andrew Kay.))  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.72.212.137 (talk) 19:11, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Let me know if anyone has questions. I can be reached at rgordon99@yahoo.com. Just a note. My years at Kaypro were the very best years. I had SOOOO much fun, Andy Kay and his son David were the best. They encourage free thinking out of the box and for folks to have a "just get it done attitude". I've since worked for Novell, Oracle and now my own company called, Atlantis Software (atlantissoftware.com). And I've have to tell you all, that I still miss it, it was so rewarding. Kaypro, may it rest in peace...

Microcornucopia
Seems to be something of an edit war concerning the perodical, Microcornucopia, as it has been deleted and readded several times. I remember this newsletter. It was not a professionally printed matter, being done on a mimeograph, but I know it had a large subscriber base at its peak. I'm not actually involved in the edit war and my memories of its content are dubious. Either way, maybe we could come up with a concensus about whether or not a reference to it belongs here to forstall an edit war over it. Comments, reasoning for including or discluding? I side with including. --Lendorien 17:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * MicroC magazine was very popular among Kaypro users and for that reason alone deserves a mention in the article. It was professionally offset printed in black and white, folded, and staple bound, not glossy or color, but it was not mimeographed. One reason it was so popular was the inclusion of schematics and instructions for upgrading Kaypros.  --Blainster 23:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I have an excuse. I'm going on memories from 17 years ago. I was 12. Either way, my Dad was a huge Kaypro user, and I KNOW he got that newsletter nigh unto close to the end of it. He wrote a few articles for it in the mid 80's too, if I recall. I didn't think it was offset printed though now that you mention it, you're likely correct. --Lendorien 19:49, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * My name is Marshall Moseley and I'm the former technical editor for PROFILES Magazine. I'm the one who keeps deleting the Microcornucopia reference. I don't think it's relevant as there were quite a few CP/M and Kaypro newsletters produced and if you name one, why not all? Also, I'm excluding the publisher's name because most other names have been excluded from this article, except those of the Kays.  If we mention the guy who published a newsletter, why not Gwynn Price, who was the publisher of PROFILES? Or all the people who designed the computers, wrote user guides, etc.? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Marshall.Moseley (talk • contribs) 12:46, August 9, 2006  (UTC)

I agree that the publisher's name is not particularly important here, and have no objection to removing it. But the MicroC was an important part of the Kaypro story, and the editor of a rival magazine is arguably not the most impartial judge. I subscribed to both, had no other connections to either, and think that both should be here. The bias is exposed by calling MicroC merely a newsletter rather than a magazine (It was not in color like Profiles, but it carried advertising and had 2nd class US Postal registration as a magazine). --Blainster 20:45, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 'Bias is exposed'? I'm not trying to promote PROFILES; MicroC and its publisher simply are not relevant to Kaypro's history. Look at it this way: for the last three years of its life, Kaypro was exclusively MS-DOS. Should the history of Kaypro mention PC Magazine and Bill Machrone? That would be analogous.  --Marshall.Moseley

MicroCornucopia was published in Bend, Oregon. In the 1980s they even hosted a few annual conferences for enthusiasts in Bend, with whitewater rafting on the Deschutes River and hikes in the Cascades as sideline attractions. When the IBM PC and clones became dominant, MicroC tried to adapt with articles on homebrew projects for that platform, but ultimately this didn't work out and publication ended.

MicroCornucopia actually covered a family of CP/M computers also including the Xerox 820/820-II and a hobbyist motherboard called the "Big Board" that could be purchased and built out into a complete system with peripherals of the user's choice. The hobbyist "Big Board" was probably the ancestor of the more commercial KayPros and Xerox 820s.

Xerox built a lot of 820s/820-IIs as their non-portable office model. Unfortunately they were blindsided by the IBM PC and ended up with much unsold inventory which they sold cheaply through a poorly-publicized outlet in the Dallas area. Most of these were sold with dual 8" floppy disk drives made by Shugart in a separate enclosure. Capacities per 8" floppy ranged from about 250KB for single sided/single density up to about 1MB for double-sided/double density. This is less capacity than a modern 3.5" high density diskette, but perhaps was more reliable.

Kaypros used the smaller 5-1/4" floppy drives that held almost 200KB if they were single-sided or almost 400KB if double-sided, and these were built into the main aluminum chassis, making the computer "luggable" if not nearly as convenient as contemporary notebook PCs. KayPros needed A/C power to operate.  Battery operation was still somewhere over the horizon.

The generic Big Board concept was to put everything on the motherboard, including memory and interfaces for keyboard, video display (text only), and both parallel and serial i/o. Before that, CP/M computers mostly used the S-100 bus and plugged memory cards and i/o cards into this bus. So the Big Board foreshadowed the IBM PC and PC/AT evolution toward building more and more peripheral functionality into motherboards instead of plugging peripheral support cards (disk controllers, serial and parallel I/O, etc.) into the bus.

The Big Board/KayPro/Xerox 820 used the Z80 family of peripheral chips including timers, parallel and serial. It was fairly straightforward for amateurs to write custom assembly language software for these chips because they were well documented and used standard i/o addressing. The competing Osborne portables saved a few dollars by using memory mapped peripheral support chips, I believe they were from the 6502 family that the Apple II used. These were harder to program and virtually undocumented in the CP/M world. User:DaveM 1 September 2006

 * The Xerox 820's mainboard were licensed versions of the Big Board, but were so badly made that they were laughed off the market. It was an unqualified disaster.Scott Adler 08:31, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

How to improve the article?
As Kaypros are a big love of mine, I'd like to see how we could possibly improve the article to the level of a featured article (or at least to a point it's starting to look like it could be). Input of other wikipedians would be greatly appreciated. Several issues I see right off the bat that could be adding proper sourcing, (I have some souces available in hard copy I could look through, but help is of course appreciated), the article format and layout could be improved to fit those used for other similair products, and content could be vastly improved. Any ideas on how to achieve this, new heading, areas to research, etc?--Lendorien 01:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Expanded the intro. I have a Kaypro 2X.  I'll try to take a picture of it in the near future for this page. --Lendorien 18:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Non-Linear Systems should not forward here
To my knowledge, Non-Linear Systems remains its own seperate entity that is still in operation today. I don't know the exact relationship they had with Kaypro, but it is something that should be researched for accuracy. Non-Linear maintains a website at http://www.nonlinearsystems.com/. Since Kaypro and non-Linear Systems are not the same company, and so far as I can tell, never were (Kaypro being a subsidiary), it's inappropriate for Non-Linear Systems to be forwarded to this page. Any suggested solutions? --Lendorien 18:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This issue has been resolved. User:Rsduhamel created a proper entry for Non-Linear Systems. Thanks! --Lendorien 23:46, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Morrow?
Does anyone have info on the Morrow line of computers? The Micro Decision and MD-1 are 2 models I remember. They had a similar sales strategy to Kaypro - complete system (they may have even come with a printer) and bundled software 'greater than the value of the computer'. They weren't portable though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 15:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

8 inch floppy disks?
My brother-in-law had a Kapro (I believe) with two 8" floppies in vertical position. I had a Kaypro 2X with a 21 cps daisy wheel printer for which I paid about $2500.  I used Infostar to design a double entry accounting application.  The reports would take hours to print sometimes.  Wordstar's block cut and paste I have not seen in modern word processing programs.  SmartKey was a program that I still wish there were a Windows version. pechaney (talk) 05:33, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Kaypro did not produce a model with 8 inch floppies, but your brother may well have modified one to use 8 inch drives, as the interface was compatible, and Kaypro did include a software application that could read and write many different floppy formats, including some 8 inch formats. Or he could have been using the similar Xerox 820 or Big Board computers which did use 8 inch drives. --Blainster (talk) 03:18, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I appreciate your response on the 8" floppies. He probably did modify.  He was a race car driver and Indy/formula 1 mechanic, and was up to changing anything and making it work.  My b-i-l, Ted Berry, went on to work for Gotti wheels in OC, working with their computer systems, and then became an independent computer consultant in Redding until he passed on a few years ago.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pechaney (talk • contribs) 05:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

 * re Smartkey, the equvalent is built-in to WP Windows. It's under Settings, or Options. What I miss is WP's Shell (WP Office) and macro recorder. deisenbe (talk) 22:00, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Citation about MS-DOS compatibility
I worked for a Kaypro dealer from 1983 to 1987 as an intern while going to college. One comment on the statement:

"Instead, Kaypro watched as a new company Compaq, grabbed its market share with the Compaq Portable, an all-in-one portable computer that was similar to Kaypro's own CP/M portables with the exception that it ran MS-DOS and was nearly 100% IBM compatible. This and other corporate issues helped lead to Kaypro's eventual downfall."

I remember that the Kaypro 16 was championed as being the first IBM compatible that was truly 100% compatible and the first to pass the MS Flight Simulator compatibility test... We use to use that against other IBM 'compatibles' (especially NEC and Sony).

Needless to say the Kaypro I personally owned was a great computer (I liked CP/M better... commands had parameters in the correct order and who needs more than the 'pip' command?). I lived in a dorm of over 800 students my freshman year and I was the sole computer nerd who had a full computer in his room vs. a typewriter. With Wordstar to write papers (no true descenders when printed--profs hated it) and a blindingly fast 300 baud modem to tie in to the college computers running VAX/VMS my aluminum box was envied by many... The true 24x80 green screen and the free software made it hard to beat. Over the course of the next 3 years I began seeing the IBMs and Compaqs filter in and ended up working for the Peter Norton Group working with the the creater of DiskDoctor and SpeedDisk... ;O)

How to improve the article?
Financial information, or references, related to the number of stockholders, shares outstanding, share prices etc would be historically helpful. (Thkeegan (talk) 23:01, 11 April 2010 (UTC))

Unsourced Claim of Infringment
This article has the following unsourced paragraph:

Early in the Kaypro’s life, there was a legal dispute with the owner of the Bigboard computer who charged that the Kaypro II main circuit board was an unlicensed copy or clone.

Does anyone know anything about this or have sources? Did this go to court, a settlement, was it just ignored, or did someone make this up? I wrote to Rick who kindly gave his e-mail above, he said he started two years after the board was done and he never heard of a dispute, and doubted Kay or his designer would have done that. Thanks.108.196.221.57 (talk) 20:49, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

 * I was a very early user, and we had an active local (Tallahassee, FL) user group and a local dealer (Gibson Business Machines) whose owner I was on pretty good terms with (lent me his truck, this sounds like something out of a movie). I'd be surprised that something that serious would have happened and I'd not have heard. deisenbe (talk) 22:18, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Perfect Filer
I was glad someone said it was a non-relational, flat database, because I wouldn't have known to put it that way, and it's 100% accurate. I used it to maintain a mailing list - I edited and published a magazine with about 300-400 subscribers and printed mailing labels from it. When I retired the Kaypros - I had both a 2 and a IV - that was about when MS-DOS started, I managed to export the database as a comma-separated variable string, and managed to import it into some MS-DOS program, maybe WordPerfect. deisenbe (talk) 00:37, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Licensing dispute about something in Kaypro bundle
The Kaypro representative - someone who went around meeting with user groups - told me the story of something deleted from their software bundle. It wasn't a program I used or wanted to, so it was probably a spreadsheet or maybe a relational database. It had been part of the bundle - not at the time I made either of my purchases, one in 83 and one in 84 (with the Juki daisy-wheel printer - anyone remember those?) - but it had been removed. The representative didn't say this to the group, but in a conversation I happened to have with him and some others semi-privately, he said "They sent us a nastygram" and that they had taken all the disks and manuals out to the parking lot, made a pile of them and burned them.

Anyone know what program this is? It was a bigger deal than Perfect Writer/Filer/Calc deisenbe (talk) 00:37, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Kaypro and Kay Computers are different companies
I've added information to the Andrew Kay article that hopefully will help distinguish between Kaypro and Kay Computers. (Based on archive.org, Kay Computers was in existence from around 1999 to 2009). I've similarly created a redirect for Kay Computers, that goes to the Andrew Kay article. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 04:01, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Next Generation (magazine)

Next Generation was a US video game magazine that was published by Imagine Media (now Future US). It was affiliated to and shared editorial with the UK's Edge magazine. Next Generation ran from January 1995 until January 2002. It was published by Jonathan Simpson-Bint and edited by Neil West. Other editors included Chris Charla, Tom Russo, and Blake Fischer.

Next Generation initially covered the 32-bit consoles including 3DO, Atari Jaguar, and the then-still unreleased Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn. Unlike competitors GamePro and Electronic Gaming Monthly, the magazine was directed towards a different readership by focusing on the industry itself rather than individual games.

Publication history
The magazine was first published by GP Publications up until May 1995 when the publisher rebranded as Imagine Media.

In September 1999, Next Generation was redesigned, and its cover name shortened NextGen. A year later, in September 2000, the magazine's width was increased from its standard 8 inches to 9 inches. This wider format lasted less than a year.

The brand was resurrected in 2005 by Future Publishing USA as an industry-led website, Next-Gen.biz. It carried much the same articles and editorial as the print magazine, and reprinted many articles from Edge, the UK-based sister magazine to Next-Gen. In July 2008, Next-Gen.biz was rebranded as Edge-Online.com.

Content
Next Generation's content did not focus on screenshots, walkthroughs, and cheat codes. Instead the content was more focused on game development from an artistic perspective. Interviews with people in the video game industry often featured questions about gaming in general rather than about the details of the latest game or game system they were working on.

Next Generation was first published prior to the North American launch of the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation, and much of the early content was in anticipation of those consoles.

Apart from the regular columns, the magazine did not use bylines. The editors explained that they felt the magazine's entire staff should share the credit or responsibility for each article and review, even those written by individuals.

The review ranking system was based on a number of stars (1 through 5) that ranked games based on their merits overall compared to what games were already out there.

Next Generation had a few editorial sections like "The Way Games Ought To Be" (originally written every month by game designer Chris Crawford) that would attempt to provide constructive criticism on standard practices in the video game industry.

The magazine's construction and design was decidedly simple and clean, its back cover having no advertising on it initially, a departure from most other gaming magazines. The first several years of Next Generation had a heavy matte laminated finish cover stock, unlike the glossy paper covers of its competitors. The magazine moved away from this cover style in early 1999, only for it to return again in late 2000.

Dopes to Infinity

Dopes to Infinity is the third album by American rock band Monster Magnet. It was released on March 21, 1995.

Overview
The song "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" became the band's first hit single, after having appeared the previous year in different form in the American movie S.F.W.. Other tracks, such as the title track and "Dead Christmas" however, received little or no airplay, resulting in sales of the album being only slightly better than their previous album, Superjudge. The album did reach #51 on the UK Charts and #30 in the German Charts.

A music video was made for the song "Negasonic Teenage Warhead," directed by Gore Verbinski.

In 2011, Monster Magnet revisited the album when they embarked on "Dopes To Infinity 2011: The European Tour", performing the album live in its entirety at several European locations.

Reception
In 2005, Dopes to Infinity was ranked number 406 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.

 * A shorter version of the track "Look to Your Orb for the Warning" was featured on The Matrix soundtrack.

American Family Insurance

American Family Insurance, also abbreviated as AmFam, is an American private mutual company that focuses on property, casualty, and auto insurance, and also offers commercial insurance, life, health, and homeowners coverage as well as investment and retirement-planning products. It is a Fortune 500 company and its revenues were over $9.5 billion in 2017.

History
American Family Insurance was founded on October 3, 1927, when insurance salesman Herman Wittwer opened the doors of Farmers Mutual Insurance Company (not to be confused with the Farmers Insurance Group) in Madison, Wisconsin. At the time, the company's product was auto insurance and its target market was farmers. Wittwer's ideologies believed that farmers presented lower risks than city drivers because they drove less often and not at all in the winter.

Over the course of a few years, Farmers Mutual expanded its market and product line to meet the changing needs of its customers. In 1963, Farmers Mutual changed its name to American Family Mutual Insurance Company to reflect its broader customer base. In March, 1995, American Family settled a redlining lawsuit, resulting in a $14.5 million payout to victims. The settlement was negotiated by the US Department of Justice and marked the first use of the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 to counter discrimination in insurance; at the time it was the most costly insurance-company settlement ever for discrimination charges. In 2017, AmFam launched an ongoing campaigned called DreamFearlessly. AmFam's company ambassador's use this as a hashtag on social media to help promote this campaign. The campaign encouraged consumers to express how they "dream fearlessly" for initiatives e.g. social justice, getting women into tech, Economic Empowerment. Kathy Ireland and her team were brought on early to help as with ambassador work. Blake Van Leer a close supporter of the Society of Women Engineers helped manage this campaign from its launch.
