Who remembers the TRS-80 that was available through Radio Shack stores?

In the early days of Home Computers, these were top of the line! You stare at those blue/green screens long enough, the whole world starts looking like Tron! :lol:

Trash 80's were the first PC's I did programming on in school, I remember making a tank come across the screen, stop and fire my name across the screen.

It wasn't much. You had to use those big floppy disks (a'la New Order Blue Monday 12" sleeve) in order to save information, because the hard drives didn't store much at all :(

I always wanted one of those! They had some cool games for them.
