      Ok, well, as for the above, I just got to get the software, put it on the 
bbs computer, get it running some version of windows, install the software, and 
get that going automated. Lazy? ME? Naw! (Grin...)

      Oh, please! I just had a model one (TRS-80!) on few hours a few days ago! 
Manually typed a short program in it to display all characters it can, over and 
over. Ran fine for hours. Then, I had a model 4 TRS-80 appart tonight. Can't 
figure out the problem with it, but the monitor works, no computer output. 
Yeah, I got a T2k (Tandy 2000) here, waiting for software to be ported over 
from it. I have a T1k also, plan to put it in the kids' room. Good for games.
