I absolutely loved my trash-80! I remember the book on basic that came with it and working through all of the programs in the back. The last one was like 200 lines of code and all it did was reproduce 4 basic geometrical shapes on the screen.
Sadly, that amount of typing (I was 10 or so and not very quick back then) for such little output stopped my interest in programming.
I'm 38 now and over the last year have renewed my interest in programming having self-learned html, css, js, python, and django. Really wish I had stuck with it back then.

Man though, does that catalog take me back.
