   Hello, Dave!   
      
   Replying to a message of Dave Drum to All:   
      
    DD> 03 August 1977 - RADIO SHACK UNVEILS THE TRS-80 COMPUTER: Tandy   
    DD> announces one of the first mass-market home computers, the TRS-80, to   
    DD> be sold in its Radio Shack stores. It features 4K of RAM and sells

   A TRS-80 CoCo 2 was my first "real" computer and what I taught myself BASIC   
   on.  Still miss that computer (it was stolen decades ago).
