My first "store-bought" computer was a TRS-80 model 1 -- Level 2.
Does yours 
have the Saran-Wrap keyboard mod to cut down on k-k-k-ke-e-ey-y b-b-bounc-ce?

The key bounce problem was a real bitch-kitty when banging in a program from 
the back pages of BYTE or COMPUTING magazine(s). Those Do-While and If/Then 
loops didn't work well with extra characters in them.
