Looks like the old Tandy Radio Shack line - the "TRS" series?The model number escapes me, but I think it displayed an unusual number of text columns on the screen.A blast from the past. Wait, I'll see if I still have my old Commodore VIC-20 or C-64. And the tape drive. Running on a one-megahertz speed CPU!But they were fun machines...
IS THAT DAVE EVANS????
That would be the Model I TRS-80, actually from 1977...I got the picture from a book published in 1980, here:http://www.atariarchives.org/bcc3/showpage.php?page=290And apparently it could display either 32 or 64 characters per line...which, yeah, is just plain weird.I do remember the TRS-80, mainly the spindly cassette recorder...my grade 7-8 public school had a few of them.I agree, there's something magical about those machines...and you just don't see those slope-headed haircuts anymore!
Of course not, Kim...he has no briefcase!
