I didn't know it had so much ram. So I just looked it up and yeah, you expanded
it to max ram. Cool. YOu said balck and white but the wikipedia article says
the monochrome monitor was a moneysaver, and that it came with a color monitor.
Any thought of getting an old color monitor for it?

I like my trs-80 laptop. And, the tandy community has collected all magazine
articles and BBS files from the era and store it on teh website. One of my
favorite classics is lunar lander. I have three of them now that I transcribed
in basic.
