Anything I say will be from my own opinions and not that of RS, but may help you get the information you need.

A year ago, I specifically Don't believe the rumors, RS still supports the machines that they made and distributed. I know, unless in our sales meeting we have been lied to. Try to find your local RS Computer Center, they should be in your phonebook. Give them a try, they should have the parts or tell you were to go to get it. If you can't find a RSCC then call your local RS dealer and ask him for the phone number where they can be reached. Most RS's have a list of all stores in the area, misc. work phone numbers, plus the RSCC nearby. If they say they don't have one nearby, ask them where they send the computers for maintainance. That should give you an idea where the nearest one is at. >If you can find someone who knows what he's doing -- call up the >local stores and ask for their "Tandy 2000 expert" until someone >claims to be one -- you can usually find all sorts of unsold >inventory and lease returns in the back rooms of local Radio shacks. Your best bet would try to find a store where the manager or salesman have been with the company for awhile. They should know where a Tandy 2000 expert is. I know our back room is pretty well up-to-date, but they may have some in the warehouse for your region. If so the computer center would have that information. - Jack Jr. _____________________________________________________________________________ These are my opinions and neither that of the Univ. of Oklahoma or RS so please don't get mad at them for my opinions. 8-)
