A Radio Shack TRS-80 – which I’d upgraded to a massive 16K of memory ..
That’s 16,000 bytes .
It had blocky pixels, black or white, which by hanging a piece of green perspex plastic over I could magically turn into color … DARK green and LIGHT green.
:tongue:
No such things as floppy drives then – everything was loaded off audio tape – and by hooking the tape drive up you could make your computer beep and make sounds !!
:hattip:
It was around 1980 I think – and I’d worked for two months all summer school holidays as a labourer in a local factory to be able to afford it.
Absolute magic that thing was !!!
