 CS> Ahh yeah I remember those! My father had one! I thought those were so
 CS> cool. Didn't it have a built-in modem too?

 No, that particular model didn't nor did any of the color computer from 
radio shak. It wasn't until I had a coco3 with what was called a multipak
interface was an rs32 port available to hook into a Hayes combatable modem.

 ditto 

 CS> reading the monthy PC Mag (there was a DOS mag too we got montly)
 CS> showing 'new' useful commands. Giving you stuff to your config.sys and
 CS> autexec.bat was awesome!

 Ah yes, the batch programming.. you really could automate a bunch of stuff
with those batch scripts. Of course , one little glitch in the syntax and you
could mess a bunch of stuff up as well. :)
