Never owned any of his products with the exception of the TRaSh-80. I
did, however , work on a Tandy 1000 running Unix that was the main box
for Family Video - a chain of video rental stores that survived to be
the last remaining physical video rental operation in USA. They used to
1000 well into the first decade of this century. It was sort of amazing 
to know that this fairly major company was being coordinated by a wood 
fired, steam powered computer.  Bv)=
