I happened to see this posting as I was finishing up in 'net.commodore64'.
But don't think I'm one of the other guys, I remember well the many good
times I had with my 16K cassette based TRS-80  (before there was a Mod II
and Apple was the only other guy).  I've watched 80MICRO grow from 100 pages
to 600 and then shrink back to 100 pages.  In the over 4 years of active use
of my machine I acquired several thousand dollars worth of software and spent
many many hours hacking or playing games or being totally engulfed with this 
little miracle machine.

But all good things must come to an end... And so too for the MOD I (it's new!
name), kind of sad!.  ANY COMMENTS ON WHAT YOUR FAVORITE GAME OR PIECE OF
SOFTWARE WAS (OR IS!!!).  My favorite game was Cosmic Fighter, or was it
Galaxy Invasion, Alien Defense, or Missile Command, or the classic Scarfman.
