[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by davekelly</i> <br /><br />Space, <br /> <br />Man I remember the TRS 80. My dad got one at a computer show in NYC. I'm thinking it was about $400 back then. Yup 4K of memory and the tape player. I remember when Dad upgraded to the 16K expansion thing. Man we were computing!! I also remember Basic. That was way cool and helped me in college when I took Pascal and Fortran. <br /> <br />The neat thing about the TRS80 was that it was RTR. Back then if you wanted a computer yhou had to build the thing yourself. Kind of like some of the debates that we see now on this forum!! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I BUILT a computer that is equal to any out there last year. Saved by cutting out retail and all that overhead. Just parts and shipping. <br /> <br />I will never BUY a computer, I will keep building them as I need to in the future with all builds upgrading or improving on the previous generation. (Note Computers advance every 18 months or so)
