Its an interesting thought, and I know from personal experience that
a set of Kenwood Twins operating at 100Watts about 4 ft from a TRS80
Model 1 can cause it to crash. I would think its possible for a big solar
flare to at least affect an old TRS80. unlikely, though.

As Bill Gates would say, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. If
cosmic rays were to blame for the EIs suckiness then every computer back
then would have had similar problems. No, you can't blame Radio Shack's
sorry-assed engineering on cosmic rays, but nice try.
