Re: My Ode to the TRS-80: Thanks for the Geek Memories . . .
Ahh the good old days, when, if it ran without crashing for more than two hours it was a good day..
Discs were 5 1/4 inchs in paper holders, almost every thing you wanted to do, you programed yourself.
DOS, BASIC, COBOL, UNIX, WARPOS2 the memories, the anguish when your many hours of programming and writing went puef!
Have my own pile o goodies from then, 8086 mobos, 1 MB Hdd's, 186, 286,386 ETC
And my favorite toy from then, a Toshiba T6400TXC that has been fooled with so much the case screws are worn out. LCD screen in COLOR!!!! Portable, original CPU was a '86 25Mhtz, now is an overclocked (oh yes you can!) 486 running a blistering 100Mhz
And it still works great! (If Win 95 can be called great)
