TANDY: That was my first notebook in 1985. Anyone else have one?

Is TANDY from Radio Shack / Texas still around?

I got a Tandy 600 from them back in 1985.
That was the first year I got into computers. I also got my first desktop that year. I kept these as a reminder like my first dollar ever made. I bet these computers are older than some of you folks!!!

I showed a photo shot from my computer room before I got the Dell XPS.

These are both made in 1985. I even have the manuals.







I show whole room as well so you know these pixs were NOT taken at a museum.

 

In 1985 i was 15 , my first computer was an Oric 1 with 48k of memory.

I think my favorite computer while growing up was an Amiga it was amazing.

John.

 

You can sell it to our museum in Russia?

 

Tandy ... ahh old memories, I never has the 600. but did have the TRS-80 models 1 and 2. also known as the Trash 80's but they were a fantastic computer back in ... oh 80 or 81 I think. I went to a C-64 Christmas of 82 .... then over to Amiga's ... then Mac's in about 87 or 88.

Toss in some Compugraphic imagesetters ( 1978 - 1986 ) and an Apple II somewhere in that pile too.

oddly enough never got into the windows side heavily until 2011

Tinderbox ... you just dated yourself into being close to MY age !!!!

 

I was 33 in 1985

 

Sorry, I want to keep my first computer. It's like keeping your first dollar, car, wife...
