Radio Shack TRS-80 Portable Computer Review

Alright, so it's not brand new. But this is one machine I remember literally always wanting.

What I ended up with was a calculator that I could program in BASIC. I forget exactly what model it was -- it's probably laying around somewhere still.

What I find very amusing about this is that it was designed by Kyocera. I think the most interesting design aspect is the fac that it has what appears to be a full keyboard. It's not quite a normal keyboard layout, if you look closely.

It's also interesting to note that it has a cassette adapter.

I wonder how fast the serial connection is? This could potentially be used for a fairly fast [text] connection via a cell phone. ;)
