Omy! I haven't seen TRS 80 in awhile. We used to call them Trash 80s LOL
But that is what the school had.

Thanks for the past blast

Yup we called them the same thing...we didn't even have them when I
was in high school - keypunch all the way baby! In college it was
keypunch, TTY with an acoustic coupler and for one Pascal
programming class I had we used TRS80s. I was a work study student
in the school of business office and helped my supervising professor
develop the proposal for the first PC lab (big old IBM jobs) - now
there are not only multiple computer labs on every campus but most
colleges have the dorm rooms wired for Internet/network access and
expect students to have/give students laptops for their classwork.
When I graduated college, I got a top of the line home computer - a
Commodor 64 with a *color* monitor, an inkjet printer, and a 5 1/2"
single sided single density *floppy drive*. Whoo hoo! My how times
change - my 7 yr old DS has a laptop!
