Not too many things going on today, but today is Shampoo Outdoors Day (much easier if it's raining!) and Hammock Appreciation Day.
On this day in 1492, a half hour before sunrise, Christopher Columbus set sail from Palos, Spain, on a voyage that took him to the present-day Americas. Now there's a guy who could have benefited from GPS!
On this day in 1977, after building and testing 25 units, Radio Shack issued a press release introducing its TRS-80 computer. Within weeks, the company had thousands of orders. Anybody out there ever use one of these?
Here's some trivia: What city has the most Rolls Royce's per capita?

I won't try to answer the trivia quiz this early in the morning, but I did use a TRS-80 in fifth grade, back in 1980 or so. We had one for the entire class, and our project was to find the best way of writing a "tic-tac-toe" program in BASIC.
Ah, early computing memories. I remember our elementary school had Apple IIc computers. Anybody else ever play Logo?
The answer to the trivia quiz is Hong Kong. So that's why I can't find a nice RR on the market here in Seattle!
