[Air-l] timeline: TRS 80

[Barry Wellman]

Jeremy DePauw says he is really interested in Journalists' use over time.

Am I the only one old enuf to remember the TRS-80 from Radio Shack, known
as the Trash-80. It had a screen of only a few lines, but a full keyboard,
and was small and lite to carry. Smaller than a current ultra-portable.

All 4 of my journalist friends of those days (mid-1990s?) carried them.

I'm sure a little surfing will find more.
