River City Random ☑️<p>Going through the #1988 <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/radioshack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>radioshack</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/tandy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tandy</span></a> computer catalog. Software was so expensive back then! This church management package was $1500! You could buy a used school bus for your <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/VBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VBS</span></a> program with that kind of money! And it looks like you could do 90% of what this does today with just a few <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/Excel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Excel</span></a> spreadsheets! And there are other niche business software packages that cost months of a working man's salary in the catalog too. I wonder if any of these programs were backed up anywhere?</p>
River City Random ☑️<p>We take so much for granted now. In 1982, you would have to fork over the cost of a new Nissan Sentra just to type the same letters you can type now with any e-waste dumpster laptop made in the last 20 years, a $50 inkjet printer, and an office suite you can download for free. But would you look as cool doing it? I would definitely love that <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/trs80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trs80</span></a> and the <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/dotmatrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dotmatrix</span></a> printer for my collection. <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/retrocomputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputers</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/radioshack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>radioshack</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/8bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>8bit</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/z80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>z80</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/tandy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tandy</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/scripsit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scripsit</span></a></p>
