This was state of the art at the time..... 1984
TRS was the brand name for Radio Shack computers. Prior to this, you stored data on Cassette tapes... God I feel old...

You mean you only feel old??!! Anyhow that was a lot more money even then in todays day and age. Wow


Posted by: ralph

thats just insane. For that price today you could get a computer with dual processors and about 400 gig of storage space. That things before my time.

Holy ass!!! $5k? I could buy a nice 80's or early 90's TC for that.

Ahem ... some of us have actually USED that system thank you.

Why do you think they call me --===<<OldSchool>>===--

P.S. Before that I had a Commador 64 and a VIC 20. Google it boys. Your watch and your phone have more ram than my VIC 20 did.

Kinda reminds me of the climate control screen in the 80's riviera's

LOL! I've still got a cassette tape "drive" for my Commodore 64!

I wonder what we will be saying (or our kids rather) about the old P4 windows XP boxes 20 years from now...Man it's hard to even imagine.

Want one better? I STILL HAVE MY C64!!!!!!

And old school, I never used that one, but I did use the TRS-80 -- I also used the Apple II --

SInce then Ive had an 8088, 2- 286s, a 386, 3-486s, a P2, 3 P3s, and finally now 3-P4s.............

Add software to all that, and printers, scanners, and what not -- I could probable go out and buy a new TC or DTS for the money i've spent on computers.

I still have mine too, and even a VIC20! Damn C64 won't boot up now though. I've also got an original, one owner, Atari 2600 and an old school Vectrex...

I have the 2600 too with pong and tank!


Posted by: 92 Arizona Towncar

yeah... I still have my 2600 with a bunch of games... kinda like playing it now and then none of that fancy 3d C.G. I also have, handed down from my parents, the original pong game platform... I forget what it's called, but it is a rectangular silver box that had the paddles attached at the end...
I still remember when when the Apple was the most advanced thing out there...

I didn't even have a calculator in college!

Uhhh . . . . . . I still have my sega genesis and a nintendo 64.

Thats the best i got.


Posted by: SC_Steve

a while back my old man brought a bunch of old computer parts home from work that they were going to throw away. I kept a hard drive from the pile that must be from 1984 or something lol. Thing, I think, is around 20Mb and weights around 10 lbs lol. Probably about the size of small microwave

I'll try and dig it up and get some pics of it.... funny stuff
