Yah. Same number I've got. (well, in all honesty I didn't buy my first
system until the TRS-80 appeared -- I'd been doing hardware electronics
all through my time in the USAF and I'd gotten tired of burning myself
soldering -- the phrase "assembled and tested" was as music to my ears at
the time -- and if I'd bought the kits and left them virgin [fat chance]
they'd have been lost over the years anyway -- as Franklin said, "Three
removes equals one fire" so figure the percentage after twelve changes of
residence since 1978).
