TRS-80 was there home computer. Tandy Radio Shack – Z-80 processor sometimes known as a trash 80. Really weren’t that bad back in the day.

Realistic? They got Knight Kits when Tandy purchased Allied Radio. I had the 12-in-1 lab kit when I was about 10 years old. http://www.knightkit.com/otherkits.htm I remember building a Heath Kit AM/FM receiver with “magic eye” tuning, I think all the tubes were 12AU7. My college roommate built a Heath Kit color TV. I’m pretty sure Heath never had anything to do with Radio Shack or Tandy.

I originally heard the story on the radio, and they made it sound like Sprint was actually buying Electrode Hut Radio Shack. I am shocked, shocked to hear that Radio Shack is in bankruptcy. How could they fail with commercials featuring Shaq? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACJo-4oQqpY From: Chuck McCown Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 6:17 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT - RadioSprint?
