"lightning-fast 20 MHz" lololol. I'd go crazy if my computer went that fast... err... slow.

Pretty pimp for '89. The "mouse not included" part seems strange these days tho...
Hahaha my mom still uses the 386DX/40 I helped her set up 12 years ago at the office.

That was my first computer, circa 1991. The Western Digital 85MB hard drive from that box STILL WORKS.

Here are the "specs" on it: http://support.radioshack.com/support_computer/doc1/1102.htm

My first computer was a monochrome screen Radio Shack/Tandy TRS80II......commonly called the Trash 80. DOS?? What's that? We used BASIC, and wrote the shit ourselves.

I then moved UP to a Commodore128. Color screen (tv set)...


Damn, I'm glad those days are gone.

we definitely had a tandy, but it was an older model with the amber monitor and the printer that had the holes on the sides.
