    CC> TRaSH? Was it that bad?   
      
   They weren't bad at all. That nickname is just from the rivalry at the   
   time.  TRS-80 users eventually adopted the term themselves, capitalizing   
   it to match the TRS of TRS-80 (i.e. TRaSh-80).   
      
   The original TRS-80 model I was eventually outclassed by Apple II's and   
   Commodore 64's. But that was just one model of computer bearing the   
   TRS-80 moniker.  There were the models II, III and 4 which were marketed   
   more towards small and medium businesses. Then there were the Coco's,   
   1, 2 and 3.  The Coco 1, like the Model I, was outclassed by Apples and   
   C64's, but the later CoCo 2 was similar in capability and the CoCo3   
   surpassed them both, but came at a time when people were moving away   
   from 8-bit micros.   
      
   Probably more than you wanted to know lol.
