Mine is slightly yellow. I have a CoCo II, with 64k and 2 disk drives (One
has failed, though) and the BASIC book that came with it (Minus the cover).
It made it through a house fire, I suspect that may have accellerated the
yellowing. That was my first computer, it now lives under my PDP-11/23.
I also have a TRS-80 Model 100, it is currently the terminal to the 11,
and it needs a new keyboard (4 keys have quit working, I can't seem to
get them working again). I still have the tape I saved all my basic
programs on. I never did learn assembly for it. Somewhere I have the
thin book with the system specs on it. I lost the cassette recorder
somewhere, but I still have the cable, so I can read the tape.
I fire it up when I get time, just to run it some.
