TRS 80

I never owned a trash 80, but we used them in BASIC class when I was in the 9th grade. (Monroe JH, Tampa.) I remember that we were supposed to do graphics using whatever topic we were learning at the time. When we were working on subroutines, GOSUB, I made the program draw out the stylized "TS" for Twisted Sister. I got an A on that. It was all SET and UNSET.

My friend and co-worker said he did a report on Ronald Reagan in about 9th grade. He had access to a TRS80 and actually drew a picture of Reagan using SET and UNSET. How low tech cool is that?!
