   I moved on to the Commode Door 64 after the TRaSh-80. A number of those   
   are still in service (the motherboards anyweay) with NOAA reporting on   
   tides and monitoring costal oceanographic data.   
      
   And one of the last remaining video rental companies in USA (Family   
   Video) ran their whole company on a Tandy 1000 using home brewed Linux   
   software until their demise last year. It was head-quartered just a mile   
   or so from my house.
