I worked for them for three years right out of college. They should have gone to the IBMPC long before they kept the TRS Model III alive, should have allowed 3rd party development on their software, and UGH, that God-awfel “ColorComputer” (CoCo). I can now get small parts over the InterWeb at far cheaper prices, computer parts at MicroCenter with a HUGE selection...RS has/had a business model that acted like they were still the Only Kid On The Block for stuff.

Also...made two really nice junk bookshelves out of the old CB displays when they got out of THAT back in the 80s, and a nice minibar from the top of a car stereo display when they bailed on THAT.

Remember their attempt at a IBM clone? The standard cards wouldn't fit in the case they had for it. . . The slots were there on the board, but the cards to fit the slots would simply NOT fit in the case!
