Believe it or not, my daily driver for writing is a Tandy TRS-80 Model 200
laptop. I used to host a phlog on gopher space and I will again at some point,
all the entries were written on the 200. All pending articles, for when the
phlog comes back online, are stored on there at the moment. I also host a
weekly radio show and write my show notes on it. At some point, I intend to
get a wifi card that plugs into the serial port - so I can bbs on it.

It has a 80C85A CPU, 72k ram, 240x128 full-dot matrix LCD, interfaces for
modem, printer, cassette, and BCR. Funs on four AA batteries that lasts about
a week for me, sometimes less depending on usage. I bought it with a Rex
expansion module giving me 1MB of extra storage. I'm considering the purchase
of a backpack device, which mimicks a floppy drive up to 8gb of storage as
well as a wifi card. I would like to bbs on it.
