I still have it.  I fired it up a couple of years ago 
and it still worked.  Most of the cassette tapes were 
still good including the one where I "rewrote" Super 
Basic so I could get true lower case letters.  Used it 
to "type" up tests and do grades.  I "wrote" a text 
editor and database in BASIC.  It was damn slow but 
better than a typewrite when ya had to make a test the 
next year ;->
