Nos trs-80?

Yep, that's right. I'm into computers even more (maybe) than I am cars, an I managed to find a new-in-the-box, never-been-used TRS-80 Model 1, Level 1, the first computer I ever saw, and the one that hooked me.

So I bought it!

My question is "does it count as NOS" or does NOS mean it never got sold retail originally?

I think we take NOS to mean "an original factory part, new and unused, still in the factory packaging", and it certainly meets that description!

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.

Haven't seen a "Trash-80" in over 30 years...
Wow.
Brings back (bad) memories.

Re: Nos trs-80?

I was taught computers back in the early '80's on those trash 80's. Even got a free one from my uncle with huge piles of software and floppy disks in 1988. Never really learned how to use a computer until the late 90's. Cool that you found a brand new one still in the box, but have no idea on how someone would be able to use one today.
