It was a Radio Shack TRS80, and man have we come a long way!

The 16k was the basic model and you could add an expansion interface to bring it up to a worthy 48k.
But for the very limited programs available back then, like simple mailing lists and word processing, 48k was a plenty!

You guys started before I did, my first computer was a Zeos Pantera Pentium 90, hot stuff in 1994.
I still have it, and except for a dead BIOS battery it still works. Zeos went bust shortly after. Too much competition,
especially from Gateway.

I didn't realize they were that old. But I see at wikipedia they went on sale in 1977.

I remember seeing Zeos' Computer Shopper ads.

Since we're tripping down memory lane a bit, here's another tidbit for you.

Wikipedia may remember this better than me, but I think the basic TRS80 was about $1000-1200, but with the 48k I think it was closer to about $1700-1800, and that was with the cassette recorder for programs or data storage. I do recall that the first 5 1/4" floppy disk drives were $500 - for one! They were such a quantum improvement, that nobody minded the price.

In those days these computers were extremely susceptible to static electricity. If you didn't watch out, one jolt of static and those puppies would reboot on you and you's loose a day's work if you hadn't backed up. We used to spray the carpet with some kind of anti static spray.

We really have come a long long way!
