Re: [M100] My TRS-80 M100 and going to the park

That is an interesting story. I found that M100s garner a lot of attention out in public. I always show off the keyboard. Modern laptops can't hold a candle to the feel of those keys. It's also interesting that there will be one generation, or maybe two, tops, that understand what a personal

Re: [M100] My TRS-80 M100 and going to the park

Believe me, I know what a personal computer was/is. I learned programming on a CDC-3600 that had 4K of magnetic core memory and a drum operating system. We communicated with it using punched cards and it occupied a space nearly as big as my family's house. The year you were born, James, I got a
