I learned to program while I was in junior high by standing in front of the Trash-80 Model I at two different local Radio Shacks. Maybe I just made friends with them or something, but they were very nice and let me play all day on the things. True, they didn't know didley about the machine until one of the stores turned into a 'Computer Center'. The machines (at least the Model I and II) were junk. I eventually bought an Atari 400. thant
