I loved my M100's.  I carried them to class to take notes.  Since the keys   
   were clicky and were a distraction to all the others in class, I put tiny   
   rubber bands I got from a friend who worked at an orthodontist's office under   
   each keycap to mute the    
   clicking.  At the end of each class i would dump my noted off to the PDD-1   
   disk drive.  And it all ran off AA batteries.  I eventually collected the   
   entire catalog of M100 software that Radio Shack sold by hitting sidewalk   
   sales at RS stores all over    
   Dallas and Ft Worth.  Plus Half Priced Books at that time had  store in   
   Richardson, Tx at the corner of Central Expressway (US75) and Beltline Rd   
   called Half Priced Software of course.  Someone had sold them a ton of those   
   brown vinyl books with the    
   tapes and ROMs in them.  The last couple of pieces I collected from Software   
   Etc in Allen, Tx.  Software Etc also occasionally received pieces of M100   
   hardware that I picked up.  In the last days of DOS I when I was an electrical   
   contactor I had written    
   an inventory and chargout package that ran on the M100 and used the bar code   
   wand then downloaded the text file to my PC where a bridge program I wrote in   
   compiled basic interfaced  the data into my Friday! dbaseII runtime and into   
   Star Accounting    
   Partner II running on my Tandy 1000.   
      
   I sold almost all of my vintage collection when we were downsizing homes.  I   
   shipped out all three of my M100s, all 6 of my NeXT Dimension Cubes, my BeBox,   
   my two Canon objectstations, some of my Sgi collection except for two Indy's,   
   my 5 Daystar Genesis    
   MP800's plus a 20' container of Sun, Sgi from Iris Indigo to Origin 200 to   
   Visual Workstations, Mac's, Mac clones, Apple II, NeXTstations, Amigas.  What   
   I had left over was eventually scrapped when I couldn't find anyone who wanted   
   it.
