I saw the picture in my old Elementary Annual from 1984 (40 years ago) in 6th grade. This was the first computer I used before getting my C64 at home. I believe it's the TRS-80 Model III by Tandy/Radio Shack. I remember playing Popeye and Miner 2049er on it in the library. #retrocomputers #retrogaming #trs80 #radioshack #tandy #vintagecomputer #retrocomputer
