My dad was a programmer in the 70s and 80s... His TRS 80 still in basement of moms house... I’m sure all 64k still work!

Here’s something scarier..not Radio Shack, but....Somebody had to be THAT guy, which was me, who bought the PC Jr. with expanded memory.

My first computer experience was with the TRS-80, Model 2 at work.

A couple of years later I bought a Commodore Plus-4 for home use. I bought it on a Saturday. The following Monday I read an article in the newspaper that they were discontinuing it.

Thus began my experience with many software programs and hardware that become defunct or intentionally obsolete. Many of those software programs were actually pretty usable. I still miss some of them.
