   I didn't know it had so much ram. So I just looked it up and yeah, you expanded   
   it to max ram. Cool. YOu said balck and white but the wikipedia article says   
   the monochrome monitor was a moneysaver, and that it came with a color monitor.   
   Any thought of getting an old color monitor for it?   
      
   I like my trs-80 laptop. And, the tandy community has collected all magazine   
   articles and BBS files from the era and store it on teh website. One of my   
   favorite classics is lunar lander. I have three of them now that I transcribed   
   in basic.
