This Christmas, get yourself a CoCo!
by Warren
Ah, the Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer. Back in 1982, this was my first taste of computational wizardry, expressed through the glories of 32k Extended memory, 8 colors on screen (at once!), tape drives and poring over BASIC manuals. And amazingly, there’s still a user community out there using these beasts. I still have my CoCo tucked away in a closet, along with my Powerbook 100. What was your first computer?

Apple II+, same year, with a 5.25″ disk drive and 48k RAM. Obviously my parents loved me more…

Now, now, you boys play nice or I’ll send you each to your rooms with misses or any technology greater than a pocket watch.

What is it with 1982? I got my Atari 400 that year, too.
