Completed posting of several
80-U.S. Journal
articles. My first microcomputer was a TRS-80 Model I, purchased in Daly City, California in 1978. I’d been encouraged to purchase an Apple II by Steve Jobs, personally, at the West Coast Computer Faire, but his high-pressure style (“Only f****** idiots would buy anything else”) was highly offensive. I liked the fact that the Apple II had color, but it required a color TV (no monitor was available) and it only supported upper case characters, 40 per line. Later versions of the Apple II, plus some modification kits, removed these obstacles, but I’d already gone down the TRS-80 route.
These articles were scanned, converted to text using OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and then proofed, as OCR is sometimes overly creative.
