@MiHiVidz No. I was there at the time and people really were more grown up in some ways, less immature. Life was more laid back in many ways. Not to say everything was better but some things were much more relaxed. I miss those days and this old program for that matter. Cheers.
Leo Christopherson, the creator of this program was my Jr.High math teacher.
What other math class did you get to help write sci fi programs for the TRS-80 and if everyones owrk was done , the teacher would read steven king novels aloud in class. Leo was one of my best teachers my who time in School.
I use to get magazines with BASIC programs (games usually) and spent hours programming our Z80 computer to play games saving them to a tape at the end. God I just sounded so old. LOL
Me too! I remember typing the entire code of a Star Trek game into my model 1, and then having trouble saving and running it because my 16k memory was full.
It took 2 whole days to type in but WOW was that fun. I miss those days... !
I remember that at 12 yrs old (in 1979) I found this riveting. You could program the music and dance moves yourself. Endless fun in those simpler days (sigh)
and all on a 1.77 MHz clocked 8 bit CPU :)

This Trash 80 was THE computer that taught me how to program in BASIC.
wonderful computer, too bad the screen at 64x16 char is a bit odd.
I always had trouble connecting to my school's mainframe computer that ran 80x24 char screen, with 300baud acoustic coupler modem of course haha.
