TRS-80 Commerical

Do you remember the first computer you ever worked on? My friend Jackie is sitting here with me and we’re reminiscing over our elementary days of learning BASIC on the TRS-80s that were in the library. Yeah….we were awesome because we could make a picture of a clown (comprised of different keyboard symbols) appear on the screen by entering a short list of, oh, 50 commands in that high tech computer language. Can you imagine how cool we felt? Only almost as cool as we’ll feel when we have our retro-80’s night while she’s visiting this weekend. If you’re good, maybe you’ll get to see some photos. I know….you just can’t wait. :)

Here’s a commercial of that TRS-80. Ours didn’t have to plug into the TV, it actually had a monitor and everything….except a mouse….and the interenet……and color…..and sound….
