And yet they still turn up from time to time. recently, someone tried
to give away three complete old Apple IIe systems nearby, and I know
of someone who still uses a TRS80 Model 3 for business purposes. (As
for why, I will state only that I have known few people who could
leave fingerprint ridges in a penny, but I think this guy would have
no problem doing so.)

Do you refrain from calling it a "Trash 80" in his company?

Naah, we both call it a Trash80. He's just too cheap to stop using it
since it still performs a useful task for him.

The first computer I ever used was a Trash 80 Model 1.

The first I owned was a bit later. What was the first one I used is a
matter of interpretation.

Okay Carl, go for the gold. I want to see a 19th c. patent for wheels
made from "fibrous carbon."

Paper-thin? Sure. Paper-light? Sounds good. Paper? I am surprised.

I have to suspect that these last two innovations existed
(must...resist!) only on paper.
