...Tandy 102 laptop...

I remember those. Very popular with Ham Radio operators for packet terminals. I used (and still use) a more traditional tandy XT style laptop, the 1400FD. A NEC V-20 CPU running at a blistering 10 Mhz, a good sized flip up backlit LCD screen, regular sized keyboard keys, plus a pair of 3.5" floppy drives and MS-DOS 3.32 tricked out with a handy 128K Ramdisk running in upper memory(because two floppies never seem to be quite enough), AND a built in 1200 Baud modem! You could also get 'em with a 40 Meg hard drive, and if CC could find one of those, it'd probably be darn near free and it'd run WP 5.1 just fine.

[Computer Central]

Quick Tuesday Morning Hello: (@ 35 posts) TO ALL

1. + #31 - Anti-Gates Site? + - A meaningful 'Compter Central' would welcome ALL computer users. PC's, Apple/Mac, ...all. There can be a section for anti-Gates/MS info/opinions, but it doesn't need to dominate the site. The mission would be to provide computer discussion & help.

2. + #24 - fighting memory problems and risking lost data.. w./WP5.1 + now, you would have to go and remind me of.... thanks.

AND Thanks to All the other Posts. - Good Info, ideas,

AND generally Supportive to the Idea of having an FR Computer Central.

If people were to support the development of a Computer Central, it can't just 'belong' to me. I don't have the time to monitor it 24/7, & I don't have the expertise that others who have posted here.

Normally, Jim Robinson does not want people sharing PASSWORDS on their account. But, others would be needed to help run a 'FR Computer Central'. I'm open to it, if Jim is. This current name & site belongs to FR, if they want to use it.

In addition to doing all the work on FR, people could provide the links to good computer help sites on the web.

That's all for Tues. am.
