Queue "Dancing Demon"!
A couple of my high school friends had Model 1s. The father of one
of them thought that "Dancing Demon" was the best thing he had ever
seen on a computer. He regularly requested performances.

Uh, most definitely not. The C64 and Apple were both
fantastically
successful.
while the TRS-80 was a scientific machine that
crunched numbers.
I disagree. The TRS-80 was originally sold and marketed as a home
system - certainly not a number cruncher. They sold it with game
tapes & home recipe tapes after all. It wasn't until later models
that Tandy started representing it as a business machine.
