Welcome to the JOY of retirement where every night is Friday nite and every day is Saturday!
I remember the "trash talk" among TRS, Commodore and Atari owners back in the '80's. Out of the three companies, TRS-RadioShack is the only one still around, so you made a good choice. I had a Timex-Sinclair ZX81, then an Atari 800XL.
In those days, "peek and poke" weren't off-color!
Enjoy!
