I still have a CoCo 2 (64k) and CoCo 3 (512k). I kept all my things Color Computer related. Still have several years subscription to Rainbow Magazine sitting in boxes. I used to type in a lot of the programs from that Rainbow Magazine. That took a lot of time, but I learned a lot about programming.

Yes I typed many pages of basic from that magazine too!

I see that ad at least 2 times a year in deals forums. It was cute/funny the first time i saw it.

Ya know, it's alway greedy bastards like you that kill the deal for everyone else by ordering so many to sell off on ebay.:|

Yes, Microsoft and IBM were jointly workingon OS/2, but Microsoft sold the whole product to IBM and went fulltime with Windows.

I started with a Tandy 1000ex - an all-in-one unit with the computer, keyboard, and floppy drive all built into one unit. It had 256k of memory, which I thought was going to be great since the Commodore 64 was awesome and it only had 64k! (how little I knew then...)

I spent big bucks to upgrade it to 640k and added a 3.5" floppy (low density, of course). She finally bit the dust when the integrated graphics went bad.

But it made it long enough for me to get addicted to Bard's Tale!

only has 2 MB of ram, but you can upgrade up to 16 MB... SWEET!!!!!!!

Very cool, gotta like these systems. Makes me feel better about the EISA 486 I bought in 91 for $5500, and the Pentium Pro I bought in 95 for $3600 with monitor, with SCSI hardrives, etc.

Wow, now I feel better about paying $1800 for my P1 133 (pre-MMX, thank you very much)

I do remember drooling on this tandy, though.

My commodore 64 was in rough shape by then.

I have one in the closet. It's in mint condition. I'll let it go for $7999. Today only.
