That was an entertaining and almost surreal read Joel, although I'm about 6 years older, I repeatedly found myself taking a vicarious trip down memory lane ;-)
Cowabunga,Joel! You are my nerdy younger brother. We have so many shared experiences we could've grown up in the same house. I also dropped out of band, although I did eventually become a bit of a rocker and considered music as a career... before I realized that is an oxymoron. And the TRS-80! Oh, the flood of memories you just released...
A friend lent me their "trash 80" and I went three days without sleep so I could learn to program it. Little did I realize that I was actually making a major life choice. :-)
Thanks for the great comment! There are some great nostalgia websites for the trash 80. You can even download emulators and old software if you REALLY want to embrace the past! https://www.trs-80.com/wordpress/

How times have changed, eh?
