The TRS-80 Model 1 was the first computers the local community college had. I was in HS and my dad was teaching the computer classes. They did earn their name Trash 80, but they were for the most part good, solid machines. I think we got them because someone else didn't want them anymore. It would interesting to find out how learning on those machines affected the students. (I could go for a modern clone of the Model 100) [edit: also the parallel (or serial? haven't looked in a while) port switcher so everyone could print is still in the equipment room, older than many of the current students]
