     @dictatordave @Economic_Hitman @j Well, if she was about 20, she'd be in her 60s now.
     
     You put a woman with stellar thighs (and we'll just not mention the reason that they cropped half her face out of the ad) in a computer ad for the same reason you put bikini ladies in car advertisements and beer advertisements. It is not because the woman is good at drinking beer or driving or using the Commodore 64.

     Ichiban Chii-size. The woman is having Amelie hair and she is using the Thinkpad to show you a picture of herself. This ad is racist against ladies, if you think about it.

     Wow.
     
     The battery life for the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100, the most famous portable in the line, was approximately 20 hours of continuous use on four standard AA alkaline batteries.
     
     Primary Power Source: It required four "AA" penlight cells.
     
     Operating Life: Most specifications cite roughly 20 hours, though some sources conservatively estimate 16–18 hours.
     Low Battery Behavior: The unit would complete its current task even if the batteries were low, but it would not function until they were replaced.
     
     Memory Backup
     The Model 100 also featured a built-in internal rechargeable 3.6V nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery designed specifically to maintain volatile RAM memory when the main AA batteries were being swapped or the unit was turned off.
     
     Standby Life: This internal battery could maintain memory for up to 30 days depending on the amount of RAM installed.
     Recharging: It recharged automatically whenever the main AA batteries or an AC adapter were in use.
     
     We made wonderous things once...

     I get more like 10-15 on the rechargeable ones. I'd really prefer to get a DC adapter.

     I think mine still has the original one working in it. I got it second-hand so I don't know. I am probably the first person to post to fedi from a Model 100.
     
     > We made wonderous things once...
     
     My terrible ex, like, when I got the Model 100? I opened the box up, it had this little faux-leather cover, the manual is on this thick paper and is bound with a plastic-coated copper spiral, she almost cried when she saw it, and worse when, like, she opened up the manual and it had voltages and diagrams and repair instructions.
     
     It's pretty easy/cheap to get a Model 100 from eBay because the things are built so well that they all still work.

     @p @Suzu @Economic_Hitman @j Growing up, I was lucky enough to have three MS DOS computers from grade school to high school. My parents wanted me to learn PC's.
     
     I will note that not a single MS DOS boot-disk - from 8 inch to 5.25 to 3.5 inch floppy's - was a Legitimate Microsoft product. All acquired from my parent's friends. I want to say the only two pieces non-pirated software we owned was Kings Quest III and IV.
     
     I learned well from my parents. They were some seriously based boomers.

     I don't think I *saw* a legit DOS floppy at any point in my childhood. Company I worked at as a teenager, like, we used the same serial number for all of the Windows 98 machines we sold. Floppies and audio cassettes. But for whatever reason, like, people treated movies differently: "Oh, no, :fbi:!"

     /e laughs in his VHS tape movie collection copied off network TV in the 1980's.
     
     I have the T.V. advertisements from Star Trek the Motion Picture and Star Trek II burned into my brain permanently thanks to my parent's absolute distain for paying money for any sort of media.
     
     "Dawn Dish Soap is SPRING CLEAN! Just look at one dip! Your plates SPARKLE!!!"
     
     We must have had 100 VHS tapes recorded off of TV or from our friends in town who had HBO and The Disney Channel.
     
     I recall one of my favorites was a pirate series called "Return to Treasure Island."
     
     Ironic.
