Ya, everyone had their names.

Commode-door.  Chicken-lips.

Rotten Apple.  Crab Apple.

I'm sure I can remember more if I think hard enough.

BTW: I have a TRS-80 Model I Level I with 4K of RAM.  I haven't done anything
to it and it still fires up just fine.  I also have a Model I Level II that I
actually use.  Other than reflowing old solder connections, it worked just fine
too.

The TRS-80 Model I was a collection of compromises.  It sold WAYYY better than
anyone expected.  And Radio Shack tried their best to keep their customers
happy.

Remember that back in the 1970's and early 80's, Radio Shack was the #1 home
computer seller.
