All you baby boomer geeks are funny. My parents had a rotary phone till 1985, but luckily they bought me an Atari for Xmas when I was 11, which made me tech savy today. I never had the patients for dial up, so I never spent big money on a computer till 4g wifi came out. Before I thought computers were a waste of time

I remember our first computer was a Tandy, I dont remember the model number but we got it sometime in 1994. Also had a slow as fuck printer with an external 28.8 modem over serial connection and windows 3.1 which we soon after upgraded to 95 haha. I remember wasting hours playing Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Duke Nukem on that sucker

Sad as it is, the damn thing was more reliable than my quad core PC. Sometimes my new PC acts like my crap 33MHz computer I had 16 years ago, loading browser windows like Chrome really slow, like a dialup connection loading a porn image from top to bottom. Makes no damn sense. The more technology evolves, the more bloat there is to keep it in check. Ugh!

So I guess you can only get the color monitor at Christmas? All the other months you have to settle for black and white.

They were cool back then, at least to me, my siblings, and friends. There were several different Tandy 1000 models back then. The one in that commercial looks like it could be the SX. My dad bought us an SX and an SL model. The SL had a built-in (Tandy) sound sampler input & output but the SX only had the sound sampler output. The SX didn't have a volume control for the speaker but the SL did. The SL also had a PROM and came with Tandy Desktop and the sound sampler software.

We had an IBM 386 instead, way better than Tandy
