Radio Shack TRS-80 MC-10 computer

I remember my dad buying me one of these along with the 16k expansion module and the printer (which printed on thermal paper in 32 columns!). I would borrow the Basic Computer Games book from the library and type away, hand-entering the programs and tweaking them. I saved programs on a Cassette player so I could play them later.

Ah, those were the days. Before the Internet.
