I was in 8th grade and the library had a room with 4 or 5 TRS 80 Model 3. Students were not allowed in the room unless accompanied by a teacher.
One day in math class we watched a TV show about computers that ran that small program only the statement went across the entire screen. The teacher wheeled in one of the TRS-80s and typed in the program above and said he didn't know how to make it go across the screen like the TV show. I told him to put a semicolon at the end of line 10, which he did and it ran just like the show. After that I think I was the only student who was allowed in the computer room without supervision.

My only claim to fame with TRS 80s ;-)
