My TRaSh-80 Closeup.....authentic boot screen, even!
My very first computer ever was a TRS-80 Model I. It was cookin' with the Level II Basic and 16k upgrade! Woot!
As such, I've always had a soft spot in my retro-computer heart for the TRS-80 line. Yes, they were pretty much the worst of the bunch for graphics (what, a "hires" pixel being a white square 1/8th inch square isn't GOOD enough for you?!?) even compared to the other dino's back then, but just like your first car, first girlfriend, etc....you never quite forget. :)
So, I never liked the fact that the "war posters" in those days called 'em "Trash eighties."
But, now of course, like all things retro, one must embrace the bad as well as the good...so, I took one of my old Model III's from the garage and converted into my very own "TRaSh-80."
(I really should put the real drives back in, just to add to the illusion, but they're too heavy and make the garbage can fall over. When I find a bigger can to mount it on, maybe...)
