The Tandy TRS80 Color Computer was our first computer!

My first computer was the Tandy TRaSh 80 Model 200. (The black and white laptop version of the regular TRaSh 80.)

I've owned: CBM VIC-20, CBM 64, CBM 128, PCs (8088, 8086, 80286, 80386, 80486, then onto the others), Sun SPARC10
And used or programmed for: Apple ][+ ][e ][c, CBM PC10, TI-994A, TI Sinclair, Macs of all shapes and sizes, Coleco Adam, Atari 400/800/1200XL and yes even the venerable TRaSh-80.

Wow. Resistors, particle board, soldering, hair, tubes, computers, cars ---

Where else is this thread going?

I just had some fresh made, whole wheat spaghetti for lunch. In a double blind taste test, I couldn't tell the difference between the whole wheat and "regular" spaghetti noodles. I could however tell the difference between the red-meat sauce and the turkey-meat sauce. Not that one is better than the other, each one excels differently in the right places and could easily exceed the needs of the individual granted that the correct choice was made in deciding on the needs to be met.

LOL! Thank you so much for that timely review, Billy. It's time for lunch, now.

Your next assignment is to compare a tomato sauce with ground beef to a tomato sauce with textured soy protein.

In the double-blind taste testing event, there was a textured soy protein with tomato sauce entry - #27 I think - but the entrant has since left...probably upset over all the off-handed jokes about soy made by the others in attendance. Seems that they all prefer their meat as meat...and since meat, as a meat has been around for millenia, it's well believed that meat as a meat is a matured and therefor superior meat - as opposed to the soy meats readily available in your urban conscious markets.

Either way, I've found that everything is much better with a little tabasco - and with a lot of tabasco, everything is everything.

Billy, you silly twit! Don't you know, scientific studies have conclusively demonstrated that you can't tell the difference in taste between spaghetti sauces? You just think you can, but if you blindfolded yourself and participated in a true and well designed double blind study, you could eat dog food with your spaghetti and not know the difference.

Now, I know you're just trying to impress people with the fact that you use the fancy meaty spaghetti sauce and real noodles instead of dog food and string, but hey, it's your money, but please stop trying to mislead people by telling them you can taste the difference.

In case there's any doubt here, your opinion is well, worthless compared to mine, because, I AM A SCIENTIST.

We pay you to think, not to talk, Mr. SCIENTIST!

BTW. Dey terk arr jrrrrbs!

close paralel (SP) to chicken, beef, and turkey hot dogs. i can say that turkey dogs tend to look more like nuclear explosions when cooked on the grill than the beef tube steaks.
