[cctalk] Re: on the origin of home computers

About eight years later, I bought a TRS80 for $398. Yes, you could buy it without the video monitor and cassette recorder. If I had a little more spending money, I might have gotten a PET, instead, or, not much later, but more money, an Apple2. Those were absolutely not the first home computer, either. But I consider them TIED with each other as to which was first of that group. (do you count announcement, production, going on sale, or being able to walk into a store and buy one without pre-order?) -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin(a)xenosoft.com
