I have fond memories of a certain Radio Shack in Peoria, IL. When we dropped by, I played on the TRS-80 Model 1 they had. I even, as a 12 year old, spent my savings to buy an Asteroid game look-a-like from Big Five Software on cassette and gave it to them as as thank you present (we never bought one, but instead bought an Atari 800 with 48K from savings bonds from grandpa). I did play it when I dropped by (I got it from 80 Microcomputing magazine).

That was a wonderful time in my life.

Yes, the TRS-80. Definitely a step along the path toward personal computing as we have come to know it.
