    Cleaning an oily motherboard

    I have received a computer MB that was, according to the previous owner, treated with a "rust inhibitor". It looks like and feels like oil. It's coated in it.

    Best Tandy 1000 model for Tandy Graphics and Sound

    I'm really interested in playing more with the Tandy graphics and sound. I had a 1000HX before, but the all-in-one and keyboard layout drove me nuts. What is considered to be the best model for that era? I'm looking at TL/2 or TL/3, as they have a bit more power with 80286 and the 640x200x16...
