I bought a TRS-80 in 1979 and still have it (and a couple more). I cut my programming teeth on it, learning BASIC, then assembler and even a little hardware hacking. I dislike the "trash" term as for me it revolutionised my life, helping me leave the plastic factory where I worked, and getting me into software development, something I still do over 40 years later.
