The fourth video in my #SEPTandy series, BIG-ly Tandy. Using my TRS-80 Model 16, I work through Tandy 6000 DeskMate's Sample Session from the Owner's Manual. Each application has its own section: Text, Worksheet, Filer, Calendar, Mail, as well as the many DeskMate accessories. This video is very long as the sample session is comprehensive. There's some mildly-suggestive dialog later in the video. The reverse video sections are a bit washed out...consider me apologetic.
