Particulars...

Richard Halloran owned a TRS-80 Model I with Expansion Bay.

David Cole- TRS-80 Color Computer... Rev E or earlier I think. (Same as my first computer!)

Columbus, Ohio? Compuserve! (though he was probably actually dialing a local number to get onto the old Tymnet or Telenet networks.)


AH, Nostalgia!!!

I also laughed at the "Of the estimated two to three thousand home computer owners in the Bay Area ..." line.

Someone tell "Computer Jones", he is going to "Look around You" for a cool way to read the news.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

We sure have come a long way since those days.

My Atari 800 is still hooked up No modem, though... I used a 300/1200 bps Hayes Smartmodem.
