Receipt for My First Computer

by theRobotGeek 27. April 2010 08:45

So my dad tells me he found the receipt for our first computer that he bought for us back in 1981 at Radio Shack.  Of course, I want to frame it and hang it on the wall.  I've always considered myself very lucky to have a father who was forward thinking and spent a good deal of money at the time to help me learn about computers.  It was this first computer that I started learning about writing software.  This was the beginnings of my career that I so very much enjoy.   The computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer.  A few years later I bought the TRS-80 Color Computer 3 myself.  Unfortunately I do not have the original Co Co 1 but I do still have the Co Co 3.  It was a very well built machine and I have very fond memories working on it.

Awesome, our first was an old Leading Edge 8086 [I'm fairly certain], at least if you don't count the TI-99/4A that we used to bang out some BASIC programs to be stored on audio tapes.  Go Mr. Bojangles and Parsec!  I remember being at my friends house playing some Hunt the Wumpus when he broke his leg and watching the Challenger disaster on TV.
