Good old days!  |
In college during the same time frame of the mid to late 1970s I had a Texas Instruments calculator with red LED display. Sure beat the slide ruler I used in HS! A few years later in the early 1980s I bought a Radio Shack TRS-80 Pocket Computer and the printer module and cassette recorder on which you saved the programming. It was actually my first programmable computer, though basically just a beefed up calculator. However it had BASIC built into it so you could program some simple apps. I'm not sure what happened to it. I saw it last about 10 to 15 years ago. Probably threw it away...
