My dad got me an MC-10 as an upgrade to my TS1000. Loved that machine.

The impression that I get from several sources is that the mc10 was radio shack trying to have an answer for the Commodore 64 and a couple other low-cost computers, but didn't really go full in on it and as a result it caved in between the sides of others.

Brilliant! Very nostalgic for me as we had a TRS-80 & I learned to type & code on it early '80s, using a book of scripts to write out the games before I could play them. 😄 Lost it all each time I switched off, ofc, because there was no memory, but so fun! Think it's still in parents' attic...

Oh wow, I had an MC-10. It was like the Apple /// of the Tandy lineup, just a total orphan in every way.

I wrote thousands of lines of code on my TRS-80 and it all disappeared whenever I turned it off. No disk drive- LOL

TRS-80! Now that takes me back…

I love the idea of trying to fit newer concepts on older systems. Nintendo 64 Portal was that too. It shows that we leave behind machines that still had lot of opportunities left.
