LGR reviews a TRS-80.


I only knew of the TRS-80 through Linkara's reviews of the Tandy Computer Whiz Kids comics. However, it was nice to see that a TRS-80 next to a TI 99/4A and an Apple IIe. I still miss this era of computing. What do we call this era, the BASIC program-it-yourself/program cartridge era?

Happy Towel Day!

I thought I had already exhausted the relevant links in previous years, but I found a new one.


EDIT: I guess not. Here's a roundup of Towel Day events that are occurring around the world today, and a video from an astronaut explaining how useful towels are during space missions.
