Negative Space: TRS-80 Model 100
- 80-Micro and the TRS-80, 1983-1984
-
I’m going through some old 80-Micro magazines, and two editorials a year apart caught my eye.
- Las Cruces, New Mexico: Coas Books
-
Coas Books is a chain of two bookstores in Las Cruces, and well worth the visit.

I’ve managed to refine my primitive Linux data transfer script into a script that I use nearly every day to transfer files to and from my Model 100/200.
- Model 100 from 1916

- Tandy Assembly 2018
-
Tandy Assembly was earlier this November, and I have never seen so many Radio Shack computers in one spot. Also, my love affair with daisy wheels is rekindled.
- Time is not fungible for writers
-
Time isn’t fungible for writers; it’s not really fungible for anyone else, either. Time stolen can never be regained, because many of the things that would have been created during that time are lost forever.
