How am I meant to read an epic story when I can only read one line at a time?

Since you now presumably have a device capable of displaying at least 2 lines at a time, please link to epic story, I would like to read it. But not the potato story snoo linked to above.

Some happy hackers hacked the ROM and replaced the "19" in the year (which was static coded to display 19{yy}) with "20" some time ago.
What about leap years you may ask? The TRS-80 laptop family never actually did leap years, so nothing was lost.
If you can deal with the fact that they only have enough memory to store about 10-pages of text, they are pretty cool machines to write on.
