   TRS-80 model 102 sighting

   I was in a local shop the other day and was slightly taken aback to see a   
   TRS-80 model 102 portable on the counter.   
      
   After double checking that my eyes hadn't deceived me I asked the shop   
   assistant what that old computer was doing there. (it was a general sort   
   of shop selling candles etc, the sort of nick nacks for around the house   
   with a pet food section too).   
      
   She said they use it to place their orders.  Yes folks, a real live model   
   102 still in practical everyday use ;-)   
      
   She even fired it up for me to prove it worked.  Her comment when I told   
   her it was in the region of 20 years old was along the lines of the boss   
   being tight fisted LOL   
      
   The keycap above ENTER, top right, was missing and it certainly looks   
   like it has seen a lot of years on continuous use ;-)
