At the time this came out, Microsoft was flying ads in magazines showing a Windows alpha (i.e. pre-1.0) on Tandy 2000s, and I was in the market for a system to replace the Sol, and the CP/M-based systems looked like their days were numbered. <short digression> But one day, I was on my way to buy tickets at the local Ticketron for some concert, and the Ticketron was was in a local department store (Lazarus? No, L.S. Ayres, I think), and that store also had a computer department. While walking by, I saw a Macintosh. The shirts who were selling them were talking to each other and ignoring me, so I spent some time drawing in MacPaint, ending up painting a picture that as best as I could reproduce from memory was "There's a hole in the bottom of the sea, there's a hole in the bottom of the sea". Anyway, it came down to decision time, and I decided that the Tandy 2000 was too geeky, and too much like the CP/M systems at work. I was sure I would bring work home with me, while if I bought the Mac, I'd have a computer to use for the things *normal* people use them for. Anyway, I too, just acquired a Tandy 2000, from a co-worker who used it in his architectural firm years ago. It didn't look like it had yellowed, he must have kept it out of the sun. It has a 10MB hard drive in a thematically-same-styled case, connected by a ribbon cable. Since he didn't deliver it to me with the original software (DOS & BASIC), I was happy to pick these up cheap on E-Bay the other day. haven't fired it up yet, and in factm it may go into storage for a while before I do so. But I recall liking the specs, the graphics resolution was higher than most PC-alikes at the time (IIRC). regards, -doug quebbeman
