>> you often knocked loose the cable connecting it to the expansion interface.
Ah yes, I had the mighty expansion interface that increased RAM to 48K. The other 16K was for the OS and Basic language. Amazing to think that these days a "Hello world" app might require more resources than the whole Trash-80 OS.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
