While browsing through the April 1990 issue of Discover magazine, I
came across an interesting photo on p. 24.  The photo consists of
characters from a computer screen superimposed over a picture of a
vole (a small creature resembling a rat) in a maze.  What
caught my eye was that the font used in the computer screen shot
looks exactly like that of a TRS-80 Model 4 in 80-column mode,
probably in BASIC (because there is a "Ready" at the bottom of
the screen).  The accompanying article refers to Steven Gaulin of
the University of Pittsburgh, and the photo was taken by Bill Redic.
I'm wondering if anybody out there knows whether it really was a
Model 4, and if so, was it being used in the University of
Pittsburgh, the Discover offices, or just by Bill Redic?
