I use to have an old TRASH 80, I got it from a middle school auction
down in Florida years ago,  its was the old all-in-one model that had a
keyboard monochrome screen and 2- 5 1/4" floppy drives in a silver case.
What a heavy beast that was.

TRS-80 FOR LIFE!! Or something.  :)

Hell, we still have one of the little tandy portables - the ORIGINAL
tablet PC! - here at work in a storage closet somewhere.  COmplete -
COMPLETE - with the cassette drive.  I should go find it and make an
excuse to play with it. 

Heh.
