Subj: THANKS
Rick--- I got the TS-DOS ROM on Thursday and put it in the Model 102 right away. THANKS for the great service. I also enjoyed visiting with you on the phone at order time. The ROM is a great addition to anyone with the ROM socket available for use. It truly is a Disk Operating System. I really enjoyed some of the features that were not mentioned in your review -- such as the file compression and the printing of directories. The file compression saved me recently when I had a large document in memory, needed to generate a quick letter and did not have the disk drive handy to save the big document. I'm going to play with the printing of directories to try and generate some disk labels. Have you done this and are there any tips you can offer? I heartily recommend this ROM to anyone who might be vacillating as to whether they should get it. I also wanted to comment on what a GREAT place this is. I have checked out both the CompuServe and GEnie BBs for the Tandy laptops. While CIS has a tremendous amount of files, it is awful expensive. GEnie is cheaper but does not have as extensive of a library. A quick review of the library here showed what I thought was a good selection of quality, up to date programs. Well worth the $12 investment. Also with some judicious use of long distance telephone time, it is really no more expensive than GEnie (although 2400 bps access would really be great--yeah I know--bitch, bitch, bitch). Also the BB here is an extremely friendly place -- full of people that share the same values of life I hold dear -- Pizza, Beer and the Model 100 (maybe not in the same order???). This has gotten to be pretty long winded for me. Again thanks for the service, support and the chat. =-= Greg =-= =- Aurora, CO =-
