Ok, so I like to collect old computers too.  Nothing with an Intel (or compatible) processor in it (too boring), but ones
from the good old days when there were about 15 or 20 entirely different companies, each making their own proprietary system. It
sure was fun comparing systems back then (pre-1986 or so).  Here are a few from my small collection.  I really want to
find a TRS-80 Model I one of these days.  <b>Have an old computer you don't want?  Can I have it?</b> Email me at <a href=mailto:tbensky@calpoly.edu>tbensky@calpoly.edu</a>

<a href=mc10_01.JPG>The MC-10 Color computer.</a>  About the size of a notebook.

<a href=mc10_02.JPG>The MC-10 Again.</a> Note the total amount of free memory available. See the 3142?  Yeah, that's right
3,142 free bytes (not Megabytes).  In assembly language, you can do plenty in 3,142 bytes!

<a href=trs-80-model-200.JPG>TRS-80 Model 200.</a>  One of the first portable computers.  Ready to go 2 seconds after turning it on.  How long does your Windows laptop take?

<a href=trs-80-model-iii_01.JPG>The TRS-80 Model III</a>.  I really like this line of computers.  Fun to use and program. With the
two built in 5 1/4" floppy disk drives, you have over 200k on storage!

<a href=trs80_model_iii_vc.JPG>TRS-80 Model III</a>. Running VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet program.  A lot easier to use
than Excel!</a>
