I had forgotten that there were computers with such little memory, but maybe that was because the TRS-80 had more.

My excuse for keeping these around was that I still had files from using them. Not sure the soft or hard floppies still all work. The TRS-80 used to have me running things from a tape recorder IIRC.
Ah, used to have Mod I computers in high school. Nothing like taking 10 minutes to load a small program on your 16k computer, and then it not loading correctly.

There are still programs for my Mod III that worked better than anything I have today.
