Not at all. I'm sure they would appreciate it.
Speaking of TRS-80 Model 4's, I just got back from Mexico (Cancun) and
while there I happened upon a computer store. It was a very modern
store, with all the standard clone PC stuff, but they also had sitting on
the shelf a TRS-80 Model 40 with 64K and two 5.25" floppies. I would
have loved to have taken it back with me but I'm sure the tariffs I
would've been hit with wouldn't have been worth it. Plus it would've
been a bitch to haul around with me.
