Wow, "TRS-80." Reminds me of the blurb on the box of my Atari 800XL: "What are you going do to with all that memory?"

It had 64K of memory.

The Atari is long gone (gee, I miss "Eastern Front"). Now, I buy cheap PCs from the major manufacturers' (Compaq or Dell the last two) "factory outlet" stores.

Yeh, Windows stinks, but my time is worth less than my money. Actually, I have not had that much trouble with XP. The latest Dell is not showing the 3-years-then-it-turns-into-a-turd syndrome of past PCs.

Of course, I use my work-supplied laptop (also a Dell with XP) for most everything so the SO uses the Dell desktop.

Doing my part to get the post count up to 142 (what's the time cutoff?)
