Those TRS80's were quite advanced for their day.

Rugged, portable, programmable, good device access, and a nice working screen. We wrote a few ocean going data loggers on the good old TRS80's.

I knew the good old days were over forever when I got a contract to write a data analyzer on a PDP-8 emulator. Whole thing was on one chip, including the 4K memory.
