Was that a TRS-80? they only came out in B&W, surely. I had one as a kid. Or was it a expansion available later? The original TRS-80 came with 16k RAM + B&W.

wiki'ed it - TRS80 color Computer was a different computer to the original TRS80 (just to be confusing).

Pronounced TRaSh 80 for those who've never used one.
I learned BASIC on a mighty dual floppy black and white trash 80, then smoked a dime bag, listened to Dio and forgot all of it except what the computer was. ;D

Ours was a TRS-80 clone by Dick Smith Electronics, called a "System 80". It was so retro that it even had wood-grain panels on the sides. It had a cassette drive, so when loading programs you would sit there for 15 minutes with your fingers crossed, hoping that some bit a static glitch wouldn't creep into the load and cause a checksum error ....
It is still in a cupboard somewhere!

I did PC support for Tandy for a few years many moons ago, we got to meet the guy who originally designed the TRS-80. :laugh2:
