OMG, a TRS-80 Model I. My first computer! (Aside from the teletype connected to school district's mainframe at my high school.) This makes me so nostalgic for those innocent days...

They even have a Model III which seemed like the pinnacle of power back then. (Well, except for the Model II which ran Xenix (Microsoft's version of Unix(tm)) and was by a strange coincidence the first machine I had a steady job programming.)

HW

Note that the strange characters separating the titles are TRS-80 'graphics'. I always thought that if they improved the graphics, they could have had a winner. Of course, they were stuck with the Z-80.

For anyone who complains about windows: TRSDOS had this amusing feature where if your BASIC program opened a file for writing and neglected to close it, the entire floppy disk would likely be corrupted. IIRC in the first versions, this would happen even if your program didn't complete because the user interrupted it with the break key.

Ah, nostalgia.
