Hi Ken, This brings back great memories for me as well. I regularly went to a Radio Shack in the next town to play with their display TRS-80 Model 1, just as you did.
I guess this was a trait of Radio Shack managers, that they let folks do that. I suspect they knew that the folks who had a chance to play with them like that would be most likely to buy. In my case, I bought a Model 100 from them so the plan worked. :-) It must be a global thing, since this worked in Australia as well as here in the US. :-) Cheers, Bert On 8/27/21 3:53 PM, Ken Pettit wrote: > Hey Lloyd, > > For me is was the 4K Model I with Level 1 BASIC that I learned on.
