FACT: A TRS-80 Model III computer cost $2500.00 !!!!!!!

The Model I combined the mainboard and keyboard into one unit, in what was to be a common case design trend throughout the 8-bit microcomputer era, although it had a separate power supply unit. It used a Zilog Z80 processor clocked at 1.77 MHz (later models were shipped with a Z80A). The basic model originally shipped with 4 KB of RAM, and later 16 KB.

I never had one as a kid, too expensive and I didn't really have much interest in them back then. Game consoles like my ColecoVision were more my thing. The first computer I remember using was the TRS-80 and later the Apple II at school. Sometimes they would let us play TRS Invaders on them.

The first PC I ever owned was a Compaq Presario 4640 with a Pentium II 266 and one of those new DVD-ROM drives. I still remember picking it out at Sears and getting it home to unpack it; so exciting. Over time though I learned that upgrading it was basically not an option however and it was the very last OEM PC I ever bought. I've built my own since then but I still have very fond memories of it.
