Just to set the record straight, I fired up my TRS-80 Model 100
and pulled out the manual.  Well, it thinks it's Dec 6, 1900...
hmm, it's got 21267 bytes free... look there!  (C) Microsoft...
after loading basic I've got 21011 bytes free... that's a pretty
small basic! ;-)  Wonder what happened?

Anyway, from the manual:

"The Model 100 is available with 8K (26-3801) and 24K (26-3802)
of Random Access Memory.  You can expand this with the Model 100
RAM Upgrade Kit (26-3816) that provides an additional 8K of
memory.  (Installation required by a qualified Radio Shack
service technician.)"

Now let's see... bye doesn't work...q45t doesn't... no wait...
where's the num lock... hey... there it is... it actually locks
down... so does the caps lock... quit doesn't work anyway...
Oh... F8 (of course) gets you out...I always wondered where that
stupid F7 came from.  ;-)
