Looking For: TRS-80 III Items

[Flack]

Christmas is quickly approaching. The problem with my dad and I is that we both make enough money where we pretty much buy whatever we want throughout the year. That makes Christmas both fun and difficult.

Recently my dad and I were talking about our first computer, the TRS-80 Model III. He was saying how he was bummed that most of the games he used to play aren't emulated well.

SO. I was thinking about buying him a TRS-80 Model III, just like the one we used to have. Anyone have one?

I'm ALSO looking for any Scott Adams related software -- the programmer of Adventureland, NOT the Dilbert writer. I have already e-mailed Scott Adams and he said he would autograph something for my dad, if I have something to send him. Unfortunately, all of our old TRS-80 software is long gone, so I have nothing to send him to autograph. If worse comes to worse, I'm going to buy a TRS-80 Model III, ship it to Scott Adams, have him autograph THAT, and send it back to me. That's still going to be a pain in the ass to ship all around, so it's a last resort in that arena.

I have 2 of them. I have 2 model 3's with dual disk drives and a letter quality daisy wheel printer for them. However, don't you think the size/weight would be cost prohibitive for shipping?

Remember... he said right away that he makes enough money to make Christmas difficult and FUN. I'd imagine the shipping costs aren't much of a concern if he's doing this to come up with the "ideal gift".

I wish I could help, Flack! I've long since removed all old computer stuff from my premises. I may have Scott Adams' software, I will check around for you.
