the 1000 was made a lot better than the PCJr. A PCJr. can do a lot
of things, but if you ever get to play with one, that keyboard will
have "toy, toy, toy," running through your head. Easily the worst
keyboard I've ever seen.
Of course, I used these at my grade school. So you know,we were
all aged 12 and under thena dn the little bitty keyboard was probably
actually a good thing. The Tandy 1000 is just built tougher all
around, but both these computers ccould run a lot of the same
software.
