I can't begin to tell you how many news stories I wrote on my Trash-80
and printed out on my Gorilla Banana printer! Add to that the number of
news stories I sent directly to the Associated Press from that same

I gave my whole Trash-80 system to my then-girlfriend's 8-year-old son
for Christmas in either 1990 or '91 after I bought my KILLER 286 system!
