I moved on to the Commode Door 64 after the TRaSh-80. A number of those
are still in service (the motherboards anyweay) with NOAA reporting on
tides and monitoring costal oceanographic data.

And one of the last remaining video rental companies in USA (Family
Video) ran their whole company on a Tandy 1000 using home brewed Linux
software until their demise last year. It was head-quartered just a mile
or so from my house.
