[Tim Billingsley]

If I remember correctly I bought mine out of Discover magazine for 
around $150 and I also had the 16k module, but I just used my trusty old 
tape recorded for storage. I used until I got sick of the 16k module 
losing contact because I pressed a key to hard and the module wiggled 
loose. Most aggravating!! The Trash80 was a great improvement over that 
.. LOL! and the first time I sat down at an IBM PC with an actual hard 
drive  ....

You younger folks have no idea ...
