Dino Wars cast a long shadow in the world of manual covers.

Discussion Topic of the Week: Off the top of your head, name the first video game you can think of that involves dinosaurs.

Every instance of those 16 TRS-80 logos is trademarked, so hands off!

Discussion Topic of the Week: Have you owned a TRS-80 Color Computer (any model)? Tell us about it.

As a sequel to last year's "Very TRS-80 Christmas," we have this ad for the TRS-80 Color Computer 2. I'm not sure what makes this model "better" than the first Color Computer (CoCo), aside from obvious: different keyboard, ugly case-retooling, and perhaps more RAM.

Unfortunately, this unit ages to a nasty brown and its rubber-dome keyboard isn't much of an improvement (I still like the CoCo 1′s keyboard better). But at least Tandy saw it fit to advertise the unit with a Christmas theme, which is quite relevant to the season at hand.
