Anybody know what happened to that TRS-80 Model 100 that Canadian
took up in a shuttle back in '85?

When I was crossing the border into Canada, they asked me if I had any
firearms with me. I said "Well, what do you need?" -- Steven Wright

No, but I have an HP 41 CX that flew on one of the shuttle missions. I
bought it at a NASA auction at KSC.
FWIW I have a friend that collects space stuff. He has lots of neat
stuff that's flown. His latest find was a large number of shuttle floor
panels and a shuttle light fixture.

My grandfather worked on the Columbia. I recently inherited a huge box
full of stuff, including original promo booklets, some of the infamous
tiles, and a few of the electronic bits that he developed (2nds, of
course) for it. The promo stuff is neat; some of it shows the computers
that were being used in the research and production labs. When I get a
chance, I'll scan them and post them somewhere.
