I had a dual floppy CPM machine at home in the early eighties. Never thought I’d see the day when computers would become a standard home appliance.

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.

online question site said:
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.
