My first computer



Radio Shack TRS 80 Model 3



I bought it in June 1981. Details:

  1. Cost: $ 2000.00 (48 KB, 2 floppies)
  2. Epson MX-80 dot matrix printer: $ 500.00
  3. Software: Profile Plus (database) & SuperScripsit (Word Processor)
  4. Uses:

    1. Composed my Master's thesis
    2. Church SS database (1500 records)
    3. College and Career database (mailing labels for communications)
    4. Visitor records



Contrast this with the computer model I sold when I worked for DEC: DEC PDP 10
