Hello, Dave!

Replying to a message of Dave Drum to All:

 DD> 03 August 1977 - RADIO SHACK UNVEILS THE TRS-80 COMPUTER: Tandy
 DD> announces one of the first mass-market home computers, the TRS-80, to
 DD> be sold in its Radio Shack stores. It features 4K of RAM and sells
 DD> for $399 (or $599 with a monitor and tape recorder for storage).
 DD> Upgrades will keep various TRS-80 models on the market until 1991.

A TRS-80 CoCo 2 was my first "real" computer and what I taught myself BASIC
on.  Still miss that computer (it was stolen decades ago).
