|    TRS-80 model 102 sighting    |
|    02 Jan 06 21:43:56    |
      From: dave-ng@nospam.tld              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 ;-)              --       Dave       Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
