There is no pre and post show this week, so this episode is identical to the regular feed.

It's the Daily Tech News Cassette for July, 1983 with thoughts on the new TRS-80 Model 4, micro PC versions of the Eliza AI, and whether software piracy is unethical.

With Sarah lane, Tom Merritt, Roger Chang and Jenn Cutter.

The TRS Model 100 is the best laptop of all time.

Beside it is the 32K cartridge. It won't boot up any more. (I suspect the capacitor that made a big "click-click" sound when it started no longer holds its charge.) This was my first computer and I carried it to school every day my junior and senior years. I wrote programs that gave me the number of shells in elements (cross referencing the Periodic Table), that showed all of the steps in matrix computation (I had to understand how they worked to write the program), and more. Monthly computer magazines at the time taught me how to program in BASIC and read Japanese. Oh, that was a wonderful time for learning.
