Tandy 1000 HX was my family's first computer, it got me hooked right away and I always loved it - I have a couple 1000 HX systems now that I picked up over the years, after giving away the original system in the 90s.

Back in the day I never upgraded past the stock 256 KB RAM and the 720 KB double density 3.5" disk drive, so it got to be a bit limiting until I finally upgraded to a 486 with 4 MB RAM and a 270 MB hard drive (a big jump!).  These days I have the RAM maxed out at 640 KB and XT-IDE compactflash and Gotek etc - so much luxury! :)

Did you have the original Tandy 1000 model or one of the later models with a suffix?
