I sold that machine to a friend who at last count was writing CAM programs on it, porting them to his PC via a serial cable, and running them. Not bad for an 8-bit processor running at 1 MHz with 64K of ram.

No way.

Indeed, the TRS-80 Color Computer is a nice system. It was the first computer I ever owned, and I currently have one hooked up to my television. I do not know if this system is upgraded or not, and I am trying to figure that out. Those sideburns have always scared me…
