TRS-80 - I remember that! (Score 1)

Thanks for the fond memories. My dad traded in his pickup for a TRS-80 with 32 K!!! And - get this - it had 16 colors. Isn't that wild? He splurged and got the 5.25" diskette drive (toaster-sized, stainless steel). We would type in games from Rainbow magazine in Basic. Joust was one of them. Dad also bought me one - a text-based takeoff on Alice in Wonderland. Later, we got an Apple 2C (or was it a 2E?) and the whole family got hooked on Ultima IV. I will never forget the day my little brother saved over my game that I had been playing all summer. My kickass Paladin that had almost won the game suddenly became a crappy Mage or something like that. For a few years after that setback, only boys and parties could ease the pain (okay, so maybe I just turned 16 and that was the real reason). Confirmed geek from way back - that's me.
