Tandy Pocket PC-3

The first mobile computer I ever owned. This is a full fledged personal computer, with BASIC as an operating system. It has 4K of static RAM.

WOW!
I remember a chap at work with something similar to this. It might actually have been this model but it is too long ago!

I only knew one other person who owned one of these. She was in a few of my classes, back in college. In high-school, my teachers didn't understand what this really was, thinking it was only a fancy calculator.

Tandy had a couple models of this and I think Sharp had a version of it, as well.

I still use mine, from time to time. I still have my "guess a number" game programmed into RAM.

Thanks for the comment, Andy!

I'm trying to work out when this was around. Early 80s?

I bought mine in '86. They were probably available a couple of years before then.

Sometimes 30 years ago seems so far away. And at other times it is yesterday!
