Tandy quit making computers two years after I got it.

What a coincidence.




My first one was a Vic 20 too, with tape recorder.
After that a 486 with a 400mb (wow&#33 HD and Win 3.14.
The 486 is canibalized now to have a back up HD for Skweeky's computer when reinstalling.




For old games: have a look at Home of the Underdogs, very nice site, I believe Prince of Persia is there too.

I got my first computer when i was 10.

The first computer was so shitty i got bumped off the internet every 20 minutes.

And it was super slow.






Now i have a 8Mb cable connection

Mine was a Tandy. With the HD IN the keyboard  lol. It worked on some weird operating system that wasn't quite DOS, neither Windows. It's broken now though. Tandy quit making computers two years after I got it.

My first PC was a floor model TANDY Sensation II. 486CPU (no mmx) at at whopping speed of 60mHz (intel processor), a 2X CDROM, 210MB hard drive, 8MB RAM, 2,400k modem and a floppy drive. I paid $900.00 for it. VGA monitor and built-in mono speaker in the desktop unit (towers didn't exist then). Stereo speakers were extra. Windows 3.0 installed. Playing games like Wolfenstien was a true amazement then.



Radio Shack has a long history of selling computers. In 1977, it was the first retail chain to market its own line of personal computers, the TRS-80 Model I. It offered a full line of IBM-compatible clones in the mid-1980s, including one that stored the MS-DOS operating system on a chip rather than on disk. And it sold the very first IBM-compatible multimedia computer, putting a sound card and a CD-ROM drive in the $2,200 Tandy Sensation! in 1992.
