I hear Biden hangs onto his Tandy TRS-80 but has trouble with the cassette data startup boots having uneven speeds and having to be retried. Sometimes because Biden tries to use one of his Cowsills or Fifth Dimension cassettes. $699 retail.

Are old Radio Shack computers worth anything?
An old Tandy Color Computer 2 is probably worth around $50 today. ....TRS-80 referred to Tandy Radio Shack, and the 80 was supposed to refer to the CPU inside. This led to the nickname Trash-80, which Tandy executives hated.

lol Still have my TRS-80 Model I, complete with Programma hi-res board and Exatron Stringy Floppy. Works like a champ still. Still have my Sinclair ZX-80. It was a great little machine. My one regret was never getting a Commodore PET. I just loved the way those things looked like they escaped from "2001: A Space Odyssey."

Rest in peace, Sir Sinclair. You gave a lot of people enjoyment and a fascination that continues to this day.

I wasted a lot of hours in college programming a Trash-80 running DR-DOS. Much better than TRS-DOS.
