I remember many nights down at Radio Shack lusting over and programming the TRS-80.
The technology was so new, they even had a deal -- if you wrote a program, they would publish it in a catalog they mailed to all of their users. There simply wasn't any software available! A guy I went to school with wrote some kind of shoot-the-cannon-at-the-target program and made over a thousand bucks with it.
