[QUOTE="TRS-80, post: 829884, member: 81749"] [USER=72439]@Burrito[/USER] - That's an absolute classic. I recon we used basically a keyboard and a TV. I might just be a bit foggy there. It did the job though. I'm laughing so hard! [USER=72439]@Burrito[/USER] - I reckon it was the one top centre. That looks more like it. Still laughing. [USER=72439]@Burrito[/USER] , I'll paint you a little picture. We used to sit in a plaster board shack at the back of my uncle's shed. The thing was more holes than wall. In that tiny room we worked on Ruby Rod Lasers. The TRS-80 was for calculating cooling and optics. So I'd be sitting there tapping away at the TRS-80 while my uncle had a "dhurrie" and "despatched" a few possums with a quiet twenty two. When I think back to those days I can't help but to giggle. Those little TRS-80s sure took a hammering. They were probably more soundly constructed than today's computers are. There was not much that could really mess up. When those cassette drives packed it in(usually due to my uncle,) it was a little frustrating. There was not an easily available backup device. Thanks for the imagery! :giggle: [/QUOTE]
