Description

We start this episode with the news and current event segment where we first discuss the Vintage Computer Festival East 2017 and the winning TRS-80 exhibit.  We also talk about Tandy Assembly.  Then, we talk about two new TRS-80 software projects that were recently released: TRSVID, a TRS-80 video player and Sharp-80, a new Model III emulator.  Following that is an obituary for Bernie Appel, aka "Mr. Radio Shack".  Then, we talk about the Line Printer I and the Quick Printer II printers a bit.  The middle segment has some floor interviews from VCFE.  The third and final segment is an interview with TRS-80 software developer George Phillips where we discuss how he developed TRSVID.
