    Nice looking car. Back in the 90s when I met my 2nd wife I bought her a 1986-7 Buick Regal (Presidential model with the canvas top & side lights that came on when lights were on) it had a Buick 307 in it. I had put air shocks on back. Raised it as pictured. Glass pack exhaust that sounded sweet. New chrome wheels. Tad wider tires on rear. Sold it off for a new vehicle. Wish I still had it.... Not pictured was my 1984 Firebird. The Dodge in picture I dropped a 318 in it with a automatic tranny & new wheels n tires. Clean Cali truck. I enjoyed muscle cars growing up in the 70's

    This is a F150 I had in the mid 80s. I put bucket seats in it & console with standard shift on floor (granny low geared) 300 6 banger. Had a paint job done by friend with a tiger ripping out of side of truck. Added some chrome wheels n new tires & new stereo system that rocked. Then I sold it to my brother & took this picture & came across this picture years later. If it wasn't for the dygmhbctohv5.png
    6 banger I wouldn't have sold it

    I bet you were a whiz on Radio Shack's "Deskmate" software !
    🤗

    ....which, come to think of it, was actually pretty decent !

    Yep, load that baby with Lotus 1-2-3 (or its mirror version "The Twin" for $49) and maybe AshtonTate's dBase or better yet their Framework software and you'd be the cat's pajamas !
    Framework.....oh, that had such potential. 👍

    Man, that brings back memories of doing code for the game "Pong" on the ol' Timex computer.

    Exactly.

    You could be writing a document, insert a window inside the document tied to a data base , keep writing and the data would update automatically on the screen as it changed.

    It was awesome. 👍

    Another interesting software package was Q&A Write by Symantec.
    It was a document writer that allowed you to make queries using common English (after setting up a database of sorts).

    Put the Apple IIE's word processor to shame. 🤗
