near-past retro tech

I know someone in the typosphere will get a kick out of this.  I won't order it, as the shipping is more than I would want to pay, but if I see one in the bins i might be tempted.






It's a TRS-80 model 100, and a pretty slick looking toy it is too.   The link to the auction, which ends Friday 2/15/2013 can be found HERE.(new window)

  1. Hmmn, I am tempted. I have one of those and two T200's left over from the 1980's. I still use them occasionally for controlling things like timelapse cameras. They are amazingly handy and fun to have around.

    Heh, you should get it. We could start a retrotech M100 branch of the Typosphere :D

  3. I;m curious, does this work like Alphasmart?

  4. Very cool. Reporters used to use those TRS portables back in the early days of laptops, when battery life was (still is) a consideration. The modern incarnation is the Alphasmart Neo.

  5. I've wanted one of those for 20+ years. One of these days I might actually do something about that. Love it.

  6. So much interest, yet the bids are not rising!
    hmm may have to rethink.

    1. No, my max was 15, because the shipping doubled that.
