   EV>I saw a message from You in Classical Computing talking about getting   
   EV>the TRS-80 Model I out.   
      
     I actually started computing on a Radio Shack TRS-80 MC-10 Micro Color   
   Computer, with a TV as the monitor, and a cassette player for loading   
   and saving programs. I even had a 300 baud modem, that I used to access   
   CompuServe with...and was with them for a long time.   
      
     The next computer I had was a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100 laptop, and   
   actually started my BBS on that one. Ironically, the programs for both   
   of those are in the files area on my BBS, but I forget the name of the   
   file offhand.   
      
     In 1992, a co-worker of my brothers, who worked at an area hospital,   
   got me an 8088 XT...they were getting rid of their old computers...and   
   that was the birthplace of The Thunderbolt BBS.   
      
     There is a lengthy history file on the BBS...I think the name is   
   TBHISTRY.ZIP -- lots of information, on my "Sysop odyssey"...with   
   hardware, software, and OS's.
