    It's on my list to explore. Now I just need to wait until I get the new power supply for my 4P.

    4P? Wuzzat?

    Toward the end of the TRS-80 line, they made a "portable" (i.e. luggable) of the TRS-80 Model 4. It was right at the time that MS-DOS was taking over and the marketing dept. of Tandy didn't really advertise it much.

    I've used DOS 1.0, 2.1, 4.01, 5.0, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.22
    Windows 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, 98SE, 2000, ME(slow as molasses in January, in Alaska), Vista(pure evil!), XP(not bad), 7.0, 7.1., 8.0, 8.1, 10(only until Sep-2022, apparently)

    I've used Commodore Vic20, C64, 386, but not yet used an Amiga myself (just gone on several BBSes running it)

    I got my start in Radio Shack on weekends, or when playing hooky. . . whastever display they had up (Colecovision game system, a 286, or whatever, I explored--usually just a wee bit beyond what they expected/allowed) (I was That Guy -- rules were made because of me! *sigh*)

    Sounds like it was all a blast!

    George Pope, are you in the business of computing/IT?

    You've got an impressing list of experience.
