With the #TRS-80 #RadioShack sold 5x more than #Apple #computers. This beautiful #retrocomputer was the most popular #hardware to run #UNIX for a while. With #CPM & #GEM there was even a graphic #UI and #vectorgraphics #art #software available.

A rare sight: An operating Radio Shack (in Nashville, Illinois). And it’s currently open! #radioshack
Saw an interesting variety of old gadgets & equipment in a local thrift store (Savers, #RedwoodCity/#RedwoodCityCA) last night.

I'm thinking it's maybe been a while since I changed the battery in this DD-3.
I spotted this #RadioShack Modem Mate in the wild yesterday while thrifting. It "only" requires two 9V batteries.

A Box-o-50 flippies appeared in the mail!
Will set these aside to review in the near future before they get repurposed with a good #RadioShack tape/disk earaser for 8-Bit use.

As the dust settles on my #jamuary 21 getting cleared, I had also done a track for the 23rd. I was designing a sound and for some reason it brought some memories of the theme for Knight Rider. Then I started thinking about other #tv #shows of the #80s and decided to continue with that vibe. Except the drums are a bit more chaotic and extra texture on purpose that wouldn't have been period correct. A #RadioShack #moog completes this for the bass. #jamuary2025 #jam #music
Found these among my books in the storage unit. I used to read these in fascination when I was 8-14 years old. Probably bought at Tandy in Birmingham or Bedford in England by my Dad and I "nicked" them (probably with strong encouragement) after he read them!

Open CultureNirvana Before They Were Nirvana: Watch Their 1988 Performance Recorded in a Radio ShackHere's a strange home video of Nirvana when they were unknown, playing inside a Radio Shack in the band's hometown of Aberdeen, Washington. The video was recorded on the evening of January 24, 1988, after the store had closed. In those days the group went by the name of Ted Ed Fred.

The Radio Shack TRS-80 Pocket Computer
https://youtube.com/watch?v=NQheo52J3BM&si=dfEqlqOjUrXWqIpK
This video describes the TRS-80 Pocket Computer, covering its history, features, and a demonstration of it operating.
I miss the original #Qbert game. Me & my brothers loved playing it together. I was really good at Qbert.
What were some of your fave video games from the #1980s ?
I loved #SegaGenesis & classic #Nintendo consoles. I had #ColecoVision, #Atari & old #RadioShack #Tandy computer games too.
Not a retro computer advert, but why restrict myself to computers only? :p
Its not just that, though.
Say a company DOES do right, even through hardship. Like.... #RadioShack .
They collected untold amount of #PII from people with "name address phone#" even for simple battery purchases. Did they do anything with it? Only internally.
Well, that is until #bankruptcy court. Radio Shack defended keeping the PII private because thats how it was given to them, in trust.
The bankruptcy court INSTEAD said that PII was worth X million, and was to be sold. End of discussion.
If a court refuses to acknowledge privacy rights, and informed consent, and instead goes "well fuck that its works loads of money", well, yeahh. The whole enchilada is untrustworthy.
