My first and favorite computer was        SD> my brand-new TRS-80 CoCo 2 my parents bought new in 1984 for me. Sadly        SD> it was stolen but I hope to acquire another CoCo 2 eventually.              Never owned any of his products with the exception of the TRaSh-80. I       did, however , work on a Tandy 1000 running Unix that was the main box       for Family Video - a chain of video rental stores that survived to be       the last remaining physical video rental operation in USA. They used to       1000 well into the first decade of this century. It was sort of amazing        to know that this fairly major company was being coordinated by a wood        fired, steam powered computer. Bv)=              ...
