Comments | It is a more or less accepted fact that half of the 200,000 computers sold in 1977 were Radio Shack TRS-80s. However, people do not buy the TRS-80 for its graphics, which are inferior to other computers, but rather because it is the most available, serviceable, supported, and documented product on the market. Considering that the TRS-80 is designed to satisfy many segments of the computer market (educational, business, etc.), the graphics are not all that bad. Rumor has it that a color board for the TRS-80 is coming. |
