TRS80 - definite junk. Anything my grandfather would buy, you knew to stay away. Taught a lot of people about computers though.
ah, those were the days...traveling with the Osborne portable ...
Oh my god. I'd forgotten about that. The Osborne "Trans-portable". We used to say it's portable like a mobile home is mobile.
Gee guys, I don't know if I should show my age like this but I remember PDP-8's (with 4KB, yes that's a K) being pretty good computers. And that was no where near my first programming job.
Do I miss it? No way. The only reason there are "good old days" is because we remember the good stuff longer than the bad.

I had a company Trash 80. Ahh, the acoustic couplers to "dial in" from pay phones ...That was a great computer. Better than the TRS80 for sure. I never was able to afford one but I did have a TI-99
That 'honor' goes to an IBM System 360, Model 67 back in 1969.

I couldn't even lift that thing......
went from the Osborne portable, to the Compaq sewing machine portable through the vintage laptops of 90 mhz 12" screens to today's laptop that has more computing power and storage than we could ever imagine back in the days of PDPs, VAX and even mainframes... with cabinets upon cabinets of spinning platters of removeable disk ... what where those ... RL-02? seems to ring a bell...
