I kept telling ThinkGeek, "I only have a shower stall, you insensitive clods!!!" and that their landscape oriented periodic table shower curtain doesn't fit correctly.
Now I can get a new style periodic table that fits a shower stall that's taller than it is wide!
What?
They couldn't find a single golf ball (out of hundreds of thousands) that were probably pitched off of a cruise ship or yacht?
Sorry if I threw you for a loop on this one... I remember hardcards going into expansion slots, of which the Tandy 1000 series had (early ISA bus). My uncle had me put a 40MB hardcard in his Tandy 1000 back in the day. I thought they were the greatest thing to be invented because the entire hard drive system resided on a single card and not spread around the innards of the computer in a mass of cabling.
The Model IV didn't have conventional expansion slots. Nearly everything data I/O related, other than floppies, was done externally. Starting with page 23 of this online copy of a TRS-80 catalog, you'll see what was made for Model IVs

The only HD solution I was aware of for the Model IV were external units, like this: http://vintagevolts.com/?p=265
My parents bought me one of those new VIC-20 computing machines back when they were newly released.
Having never really been exposed to BASIC programming, except for many long sessions in front of TRS-80's, much to the chagrin of Radio Shack managers, I found the VIC-20 user manual rather... "light"... in its content.
Later, I bought the Programmer's Reference Guide, which was an explosion of useful details and information about the VIC-20!!! There was an entire section on memory maps and detailed 6502 assembler codes. Using just that book, I started learning to write and hand compile machine language routines. I would enter the programs via PEEK commands and DATA statements.
you could use the inbuilt PI value to express 0 as PI - PI or 1 as PI / PI which only took 3 bytes.
Awesome trick!!! I never even realized that until now and I had access to a TS1000 when they first came out. However, I would think it's only a speed for space tradeoff. At 1MHz, I wouldn't have relied on that too much for repeated use in loops!
Then again, I used a VIC-20. At least I had 75%-250% more RAM to work with, depending on the stock Sinclair variant.

There... fixed that for you!
All I can tell you is that it's half common sense, half case law, and half luck.
Sorry... people simply cannot make sound decisions about their companies without being able to consider at least "four halves" of options.

The real reason is that the agents have a deep rooted "touching fetish" that they need to keep satisfied.
Westboro wanted attention, too. And just like them, SouthingtonSOS ended up getting all the WRONG attention in their distorted sense of activism.
I'll bet if they gave each student a free cell phone (which "may or may not" contain tracking technology) that they can keep with themselves during school, they'd be ALL over that!
It's basically one continuous external surface inside the body.
You make us sound like living, breathing Klein Bottles...
