The Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer 2 was my first computer it was and will always be my favorite. My father bought it from me from a local Flea Market one summer for the amazing price of $15.00. My dad was always willing to indulge my curiosity and this thing was at the perfectly priced for a family on a fixed income. The computer was incredibly simple to setup for a 12 year old all I had to do was unplug my Atari 2600 from the back of the TV and plug in the computer.
I powered it up and and all that came up on the screen was a prompt (video) I had no idea what to do or what it’s capabilities were. So off to the local library I went hunting for a book or anything that would give me a clue. I managed to get my hands on a book named Getting Started With Color BASIC published by Radio Shack and a few minutes later I typed my first Hello World program.
That was one of the best summers of my life. Like a kid with a set of LEGO’s full of curiosity and imagination there was no limit to what I could accomplish. By the end of summer I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. My father has passed away since but I can’t begin to express how grateful and fortunate I was to have him in my life. Of all the things that he taught me the greatest was that there is no limit to what I can accomplish if I put my heart into it. It is because of him that I continue to prosper both in life and career.
Thanks for believing in me Dad.
