Yes 64K was enough to run CP/M

The computer in Highschool was also running CP/M with 64Kb. I actually never saw any of the TRS-80's counting more than 64Kb. I think it was a model 4, the rest were all model 3 ones.

I just had a memory of this small little obnoxious popular wise-ass kid in highschool - who always thought he knew everything - being convinced he could run his dad's MS-DOS disks in the TRS-80 because he somehow thought that the similar CP/M command prompt meant it could run MS-DOS. We actually had a bet and of course I won and the kid bit the dust hard. He never actually recovered - and I had taken his place. Probably because of that and because of my fancy animations. He was always trying out nice and fun animations on the system - like little demos. Well this bet and my increasing skills on the trs-80 actually landed me the job programming the C64-oscilloscope thing for the science department.
