The first work computer I ever had was a RS TRS-80. We had three of them at work and used them in the engineering department. Never bought one. I opted to get an Apple II+ instead. I did own the little, tiny TRS-80 Pocket Computer though. Basically a large, handheld, programmable calculator that could run simple BASIC programs. BASIC was a simple MS DOS programming language. It was ahead of its time, and amazingly it had more computing power than the Apollo space crafts had to go to the Moon and back. Too bad RS lost its way years ago and is now little more than a group of phone kiosks. I miss the days in the 1960s when we would go to RS and buy all the parts we needed to fix or build electronics. It used to be a radio hobbyists dream store...not anymore...
