    SD>> Sure thing and I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier.   
    SD>> It really is amazing how many "old computers" are being revived   
    SD>> by hobbyists these days.  Makes me wish I'd held onto all of my   
    SD>> issues of "Family Computing" now.   
      
    DS>   My first computers were:   
      
    DS> 1) A Radio Shack TRS-80 MC-10 Micro Color Computer. A TV set (with a   
    DS> special adapter) was the monitor, programs were loaded and saved via   
    DS> cassette tape, an acoustic coupler modem was used for communication   
    DS> with CompuServe or BBS's, and it had a small box like keyboard...with   
    DS> an optional 16K RAM Expansion Pack (it originally only had 4K).   
      
    DS> 2) A Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100. I had a disk drive with it, and   
    DS> special software to load/save files (it was faster than cassette). A   
    DS> special terminal program allowed one to access CompuServe for the   
    DS> forums, with another one, allowing Xmodem file transfers.   
      
    DS> 3) An 8088 XT, with 640K RAM, a monochrome green monitor, a 20 MB hard   
    DS> drive, a keyboard, a mouse, plus a 3.5" and a 5.25" floppy drive, with   
    DS> DOS. 3.2 on it. That was the birthplace of The Thunderbolt BBS nearly   
    DS> 30 years ago.   
      
      
   what bbs (mailer, tosser, etc) did you run on your XT ?   
      
   Regards,
