Naw...That suit is too wrinkled and there's too much stiff competition.

How did I miss this? Happy birthday jack, and are you still going to teach me how to use your abacus?

To late Kenny...I've upgraded to a spanking new TRS-80 also known as Trash-80

You'll have to bring your own floppy, mine is busy.

This is my favorite part "The program quickly crashed as the computer could not handle the $150,000 figure that Tandy typed in as his salary"..TRS-80 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My Dad's Trash-80 didn't use floppies. It used cassettes. FYI, it was not a good idea to play them on a regular cassette player. They sounded awful!

Hope you had a great birthday.

Thanks All...Kea, I never saw a Trash-80 with cassettes. I had 8" floppies.

Just as an aside. I kept that thing up to about three years ago. I donated it to the
White Elephant which is Green Valley's version of a Salvation Army store. I went
back to check it out and the guy told me it sold in three days.

I think the floppies were an upgrade from the cassettes.

I remember Dad getting a floppy drive after I left for college. But I don't remember if that was for the TRS-80 or for the Apple II. When the "double-sided" floppies first came out you actually had to flip them over to use the other side.

What a nice trip down memory lane.
