The TRS-80, also known as the Trash-80, was a home computer released by Tandy in the 1970s and 1980s
It was famously inexpensive, a deliberate design goal from Tandy, however this came at the expense of its reliability
The computer was Z80-powered and had Level I BASIC, which was later updated to Level II
There were several models including the Model I, II, and III
The III was required as the Model I produced too much EMI to interfere with nearby radios
Despite its faults, the TRS-80 played an important role in introducing many people to home computing and opened the world of computing to children and adults
