The 2000, as I'm sure you know, was a relatively short-lived,
not-quite-PC-compatible. By the time 80 took the Tandy DOS systems
seriously, the 1000 was the hot system. A lot of TRS-80 folks upgraded to
the 1000; very few to the 2000.

John, if I remember correctly, was involved with weapons systems on nuclear
submarines--stuff that he could never discuss with civilians.
