I had the Trash 80 branded version of this. Or, rather, my grandpa had it and I found it in the basement and claimed it. I think I got a couple programs written on it but it wasn't really a pleasant experience.

My dad gave me his when he didn't need it anymore - I should still have it somewhere... only ever played pretend with it...

I had one of these (or a similar model). It was great!
