It is odd that Radio Shack could not make money by selling TRS-80 computers and giving away batteries.

I thought that they gave away flashlights in order to sell batteries?

I had one of those TRS-80 color computers. 16MB of ram!!!

They made a strategic mistake. They tried to keep control of hardware and software development.

The PC was open to developers and left Radio Shack in the dust.
