I assumed he was getting a reasonably current Tandy PC clone. My jaw just about hit the floor when I went to his house and saw that he'd gotten a Trash-80. We had some fun with it anyway, but I had to break it to him that he wasn't going to be able to run any of the Space Quest games. R.

Charging a ton for "enterprise" to subsidize the home / prosumer markets has always been a thing.

They were out about 2 months and I had to have one so I went to radio shack bought it, a monitor, dot matrix printer, memory upgrade and an extra external floppy drive. Spent a lot of money on it, over a grand just for the ex1000, in 87 that was a lot of cash. I was 23 bringing home 125.00 a week. Had a lot of fun with that thing. I only knew of 1 other person at that time that had a computer. Friends would come over just to see it. Somewhere I still have a Tandy hx1000. Only here to annoy... Pages: 1
