> [...] TRS-80s were made by Radio Shack ... Yeap! While in the US in 1985 I was wondering that it was still famous.
> ... and known as "trash 80s" [...] Probably this is/was a typical US expression as here in Europe I haven't hear of any such words. Tim: They were called "trash 80s" as a play on the model number - "TRS-80". I think it started out as professional slang - I recall my dad using the term in the early 80s when he worked R&D at NCR. I had a 4K version for a long time that I played with BASIC and assembler on...and remember the "wow" factor when I moved up to a 128K CoCo and dual floppy drives. :) Sold them to a collector a few years ago, but still have my in-the-box Timex/Sinclair 1000, with the optional 16K RAMpack. Wonder if it still works.
