in the 1980's i was a manager for a Tandy Computer Service Center in Santa Rosa CA. ..i was also in contact to all Radio Shack and Tandy stores in Northern Cal..our store sold 1 Tandy 100 to an "Executive" our store and other stores in Northern Cal solds hundreds to reporters..you can also watch White House Press Room videos from that era almost every reporter had a model 100..We also sold quite a few to "growers" from Humboldt County to manager their growing operation...also another group that we commonly sold to was university field researchers
It's so crazy, growing up in the 80s I never noticed that at all, but ever since getting a Model 100, it's impossible NOT to see them everywhere in old news reports!
Thanks! I'll see if I can get the TA folks to post a link to the slides from this talk - they're on my web site but I don't think I can post links in the comments.
Great video! I picked a M100 up recently and I just can't put it down. It's proper keyboard and Game Boy-tier minimal battery consumption has made it an amazingly practical word processor for when I know I'll be somewhere where my cellphone or laptop will crap out after being on for five hours straight...
