I have a Tandy 200 (similar machine, but with a more familiar flip-up laptop lid and a larger
screen) that I used every so often through the years. I was lucky to be able to still find some
of the books and accessories at Radio Shack around the time I purchased it, in 1990.

Well, I believe the *software* was written by Gates. (It also includes Microsoft Basic,
built-in.) I've never seen anything that would lead me to believe that Microsoft worked on
the actual design of the device.
