   I can't speak for the group but I know that I'm more interested in the   
   TRS-80   
   line than in anything labeled Tandy.  By the 386/486 days, Tandy (now   
   Radio Shack) was a clone maker rather than an innovator.  I am certainly   
   biased, though.  I owned a TRS-80.  It wasn't called a Model I or any fancy   
   name, just TRS-80 Microcomputer (This was before the Model II came out).   
   Nostalgia colors memories sometimes.  In order to get a 16K Level II   
   machine,   
   I had to put my name on a 6-month waiting list.  Fortunately for me, there   
   were   
   cancellations in the queue so I got my unit "only" three months after   
   ordering   
   it.  The Expansion Interface and disk drives were about the same story.  It   
   wasn't   
   like today where you can walk into a computer dealer's shop and walk out   
   with   
   a computer.
