Lucky you. Did you ever get a floppy drive for it?

I never did for the TRS-80 - but I did with the PET 4040 and the Commode
Door 64. MY first game for the Radio Shack item was a Nuclear Reactor
"simulation" that I typed in from Creative Computing. Spent a lot
of hours futzing with that one.  Bv)=

Then I saw an Apple I playing Temple of Apshai *IN COLOUR*. I'd have killed
for colour. And would have had to stick up a gas station or liquor store to
buy one - given the price. The VIC-20 and C=64 were much more wallet
friendly for a colour display. Never, ever owned an Apple computer of any
sort.
