The thing I found entertaining for several years was the bitching about the Model One cassette interface.  It was supposed to be worse than those on the Apple, the Pet and the Atari.  Funny, owners of TRS-80s weren't in nearly as much of a hurry to add floppy drives to their machines as the Apple, Pet and Atari owners.  I guess those cassette interfaces were really bad on our machines.  (The Mod 3 and Coco cassette interfaces were orders of magnitude better than the Mod One, which I did have occasional problems with, but nothing like an Atari, Apple or Pet owner).
