    Yea - that was one of my very first IBM-compatible machines. In fact, at that time the Tandy had better sound and graphics to boot!!

    Dude - my parents bought me a [overpriced, under powered at the time...] Tandy 1000 - can't remember if it was an RX/SX/SL/etc. For a 386, it was underpowered but DID have better graphics and sound for some things.

    I'd really like to get an 8-bit, or even 16-bit like I owned, Tandy again. I never used the trash 80s but would enjoy getting to know them now that I collect.

    Someone was selling a Tandy 1000 in my city a while ago, and I missed it :(

    ... Your Honor, I wish to plead permanent insanity.

    I've tried to figure out the model I had as a teen - an RX or SX I believe... yea, I'd pop on one of those if I see it come up for sale... I need a 286/386 in my collection right now.

    I also need a Pentium-II/3/4 - I want an MS-DOS retro that can handle the Windows stuff... my eyes are always peeled for the new retros around my area - I'm lucky b/c I travel for work, so I hunt from north of Seattle to Northern California... helps to widen the net. :P
