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.
