There are essentially five classes of Tandy computers, all fascinating in their own way. Of course there are the Tandy I/III/4/4P line, then there's the Color Computer 1/2/3 line, then there's the pocket computer line, then there's the Model 100/102/200, and finally there's the Tandy 1000/2000/3000 line. Of course there were other offshoots like the business-centric Tandy Model II, and the Tandy 2000/3000 are really separate from the 1000 series, though in the same class, and of course Tandy also produced for a short time a line of PC compatibles that forsook the Tandy graphics and sound standards, but they're all really uninteresting outside of the main lines. They are all underrated and underappreciated machines. Tandy/Radio Shack did as much for home computing as Apple, Commodore or Atari, it's just that as much as being tied to the Radio Shack stores for distribution helped them early on, it hurt them later on.

As for Disney Animation Studio, I may have a copy for the Amiga or PC lying around. I always wanted it back in the day because it did "onion skinning", which I always loved. I did a primitive form of that when I would draw stuff in Deluxe Paint on the Amiga, swapping between the different screens to form a single picture (today we call them layers in programs like Photoshop I suppose).
