Best part is the floppy which says “TANDY” which I think means you got it at Radio Shack.
And High Density so it must be 360K!
Oh the memories of the good old days!! Do you have any punch cards??? I’ve run out
BTW, my son was asking me yesterday if I still knew COBOL!
Me too, and I have the copy books to prove it!
I told him that he wouldn’t like COBOL…all those darn periods!
Perform-ance anxiety too!
Threw my COBOL books out
I still have an MC10 and I think my father still has a Model 4. Back in the day he had a Radio Shack/Tandy agency, I was in Need heaven, unfortunately I didn’t know what I was doing half the time, back then.

I have a very strong urge to get up on my mezzanine and pull every piece of hardware I have and photograph it for posterity. Not sure if I should pull out my old 126 camera or grab the Polaroid Land Camera!
Over the previous months I have been beginning to wonder if all this stuff is just a reflection of the inner workings of my mind!
According to Wikipedia Woollies bought Tandy back in 2001
You don’t have a Brownie?
(Bonus pts for Kodak Disk camera)
An electronics store existed in 1923?
What was considered “electronic” back then, telegraph keys?
No bonus sadly
I got one of those as gift for my high school graduation. Class of '85
