I'm just thankful I don't have any of the problems this computer is specifically geared to resolve. If I did - I'd have to live with the problem, because I couldn't possibly afford the computer. :smile:

Quantum computers? Heck, I would be thrilled if my computer didn't take forever to boot up and shut down. It's not even a year old. Once the computer engineer guys figure that out, then I'll get excited about quantum computing. One thing at a time.

 

You can get one at Radio Shack. It even comes with a 56kb modem built right in.

 

"TRS-80000000000X"

It's the package deal: comes with a dot-matrix printer and everything.
