And the rest is history

This is the day, in 1977, when the Tandy Corporation (now known as Radio Shack) issued a press release introducing the TRS-80 computer, the first personal computer, as far as I know. Only 25 of them existed at the time. Within weeks thousands were ordered, but at the time, it was considered a geeky toy for hobbyists. Little did they know . . . . I remember the era of typewriters and telephones (sans voicemail), but I don't miss it.
