Go up one level in this thread


1977 (or '78), a friend had gotten a TRS-80 model 1 computer for his birthday.
It came with a chess program on cassette tape.  It took forever to make moves,
some of which were illegal (occaisionally).  It was weaker than us, and we were
weak players then (high school).

But that computer was so cool.  I had never seen a computer of any kind before,
except our hand-held calculators.
