My god!
Is that a TRS-80?
I haven't seen one (or even a picture of one) in years!

Even all these years later I still read that as "trash-80" ;)

We called them "Trash-80's" back in the day.

Why just see one? You can download an emulator! Google is your friend! Here's a link to get you started...

Have fun :-)

Yup, I think it was.
That's a blast from the past. When I was a grad student we had a lab full of 'trash-80's' at Penn. I taught the best business calc students in the world in those days: for the last three years as a TA I had the class of Wharton undergrads who self-selected to take an extra half-course to learn BASIC programming along with their business calc.

No. The TRS-80 I remember was one piece, keyboard and monitor combined. There were no "drives". We wrote BASIC programs line by line. Read and write of the program was done on a cassette tape and a tape recorder. 64K of memory.
