I started working at Stevens' Computer Center / Radio Shack back in 1982, as the systems engineer. Naturally I worked on TRS-80 Model II, III, and 16's. For most of the 80's the most popular business computer at our store was the Model 16. I wrote numerous programs in Basic, Super, and filePro for the clients. Back then we marvelled at 10 MB drives!<BR>
