Who remembers the TRS-80?

TRS-80\nCommodore-64\nVic-20\n\nCassette Tape to save stuff on.\n\nWriting a program to save addresses\nin BASIC computer programming in high school.\n\nSome genius in high school, years before email, made\nup a program called mailbox, complete with it's own\nsorta version of match.com.  I was convinced back\nthen the SYSOP was reading everyone's mailbox\nmail.  And guess what?

yes i do, it's a russian made short range anti aircraft anti missle weapons system.its a mobile weapons system with radar,it's armed with missiles to shoot down cruise missles, helicopters, spy drones,u.a.v,etc,it also has two very powerfull long range self auto mated machine guns,its a formidable weapon for self defense.i'll give you the link to it as i study only the best weapons in the world.

First supersonic training aircraft:  T-38\n\nThrough the years the T-38 Talon has acquired a reputat- ion for economy of operations ease of maintenance, ex- cellent performance and safety.  \n\n\nIn addition to the United States Air Force,  N A S A  and most  N A T O countries use the T-38 to train their pilots. \nNASA  also uses the T-38 for observation and as chase planes for various projects including the Space Shuttle. \n\n\nOver 60,000 pilots have trained in the T-38, preparing to fly a variety of aircraft such as the A-10, F-111, F-15 and \nF-16.  \n\n\nMore  than  1,100 Talons  have been produced between 1959 and 1972, when production ended.  About 562 air- craft are still active.   With  ongoing  upgrades to the air- frame,  it is anticipated that the T-38 Talon will remain in service through 2010.

Interesting! My first thought was the F-22. do you still have access to the photo? I would like to see it. My 360 page has my email and Messenger id on it.

Yeah, went into basic in 1993, went to Lowry AFB, Co, for tech school, then went to Keesler AFB, Ms.  It was a blast!  Just wish I had stayed in.

I  can top you. I'm stuck in the 80's. It's nothing to worry about. I think we just miss the memories.

LOL... Trash 80s? I actually saw a working one a couple years back. Obviously yours is tounge in cheek but most people will not recognize such obscure hardware as what you mentioned. \n\nTo take you literal. I worked at NASA for several years. They always need machiniests. So the gun repair experience would actually be usefull if comercial machining and deliver of custom specs were in use. \n\nEvery peice of software and hardware on the Shuttle requires 5 years of rigerous testing. So most people have more powerful computers in their microwave than the shuttle has on board. While the Shuttle has a bit more advanced hardware than the Trash 80 it's not much more advanced. NASA does some really cool R&D or at least used too, the latest budget wiped out quite a bit of that. NASA does this for safety, something NASA as a whole takes very seriously and does an excellent job with. Lapse such as what caused the Columbia tragidy are examples of why NASA takes safety so seriously.\n\nSince Masters are not given about specific computer models not made in 20 years or more. Your obviously being fecitious but I managed to turn it into usefull convo anyway so I hope you give me the 10 pts just for knowing what a Trash 80 is and providing usefull info despite the tounge in cheek nature of the question :)

My parents are in their mid sixties and they use it all the time.  I also have some older relatives who use it frequently.  Don't really know anyone in their 80's who use it.  But, I am sure there are some out there.

i just saw them, about $80

Ya, I remember them, they were pretty good.  I feel old now, thanks!

Yes I remember.  It had little flying sauser mahcines and they had babies.  One was born without power.  The dude said "Batteries not included" but he fixed it and they ended up saving the old people from the bad guys.\n\nHere it is for sale at Amazon.com\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0783232047/104-6611225-3033562?v=glance&n=130

Those Stinger missiles are old technology.\n\nNew fighter craft have little to worry about from them, as those missile systems are many generations old, in technology years.\n\nMost of them wouldn't work anyway because they have dead batteries. New batteries for those Stingers can be bought on the black market, but there isn't much interest in continuing to use them.\n\nSince the breakup of Russia, the world, including the Middle East and Central Asia, have been flooded with weapons, including more advanced shoulder fired missiles. Today's advanced shoulder fired missile systems use two-stage target acquisition technology, which did not exist with those old Stingers.\n\nBut to confirm your original statement, the answer is yes. We sure did arm those USA-hating and West-hating mujaheddin with USA weapons technology, even when intelligence reports said that these same people were actively supporting terrorist groups on the State Department's terrorist watch list. Yes, it was Ronald Reagan who approved the sales of arms to the Afghanistan resistance fighters.\n\nThe other bad thing is that we also taught them how to use the technology in the first place, so now, even with different systems, they know how to use them.\n\nThat was a huge blunder on Reagan's part which few Reagan supporters acknowledge. He sold weapons to people who were enemies of the USA, and did so willingly.\n\nReagan really took that whole "better dead than Red" philosophy just a tad bit too far. In the final analysis, the Soviets never were our true enemies.\n\nIncidentally, it was Dick Cheney, who, under George Bush Sr, went on "goodwill" visits to Iraq to shore up relations with Hussein.\n\nWe sure do have a troubling past with arming and actively supporting the wrong people.
