>In the 1980s, there was a truly staggering amount of choice for a consumer looking to purchase a home computer. On the high end, something like an Apple Lisa, a business-class IBM PC, or a workstation from Sun Microsystems could easily range from $6,000 to $20,000 (not adjusted for inflation). For the time, these mind-blowing prices might have been worth the cost, but for those not willing to mortgage their homes for their computing needs, there were also some entry-level options. One of these was the Sinclair ZX-80, which was priced at an astounding $100, which caused RadioShack to have a bit of a panic and release this version of the TRS-80 computer to compete with it.

I cut my teeth on the TRS-80 in grade school. I could sign up for computer time. When you didn't know where to start we had books that had source code and an explanation of the program. When you didn't know anything at all you could start by just typing one of those in and running it.
My early programming master work on Apple ][+ (48k of RAM) would read joystick coordinates and paint the screen and adjust beeping pitch.
